It is a real pleasure to start the 2020 Authors Showcase with a fabulous contribution from Tina Wagner Mattern.

Tina submitted four stories to last year's showcase and they were so good that all of them were included in the 40 Memorable Life Experiences anthology, published earlier this year. The Kindle version is FREE until tomorrow (April 5th), so if you haven't got it yet, grab your copy here: getbook.at/40MLE

Now you can sit back and enjoy Tina's latest story: WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH - THE TOUGH NEED LAUGHTER by clicking here.

Few of us have lived through such unsettling times as these.

Because of this, I wanted to make this year’s showcase as cheerful and supportive as possible.

My hope is that the subject for our 2020 Authors Showcase – Inspirational True Stories – will appeal to writers and readers alike.

During self-isolation, we all have time on our hands. Whether you are an experienced author or a novice writer, now is the perfect time to get writing.

If you always wanted to write but lacked the confidence, I would like to help. The most important thing is to get your thoughts and feelings down on paper. Once you have done that, please forward me a draft copy and I will give you feedback and make editing recommendations.

Although stories can be about your own experiences, they can also be about friends, relatives or colleagues. Most importantly they should inspire, motivate and bring encouragement to the reader.

Guidelines for entering can be found on the 2020 Showcase Guidelines page. There are also a few writing prompts to inspire you.

I look forward to reading your contribution(s).

Stay safe and all the best,

Robert (aka Fred)

P.S. The Kindle version of 40 Memorable Life Experiences, the book based on last year’s showcase, is available FREE from today until Sunday, April 5th. Get your copy here: getbook.at/40MLE.
