The Hunger Mountain/VCFA eBay auction is ON! The clock is ticking — bid between now and Sunday, May 13th! Below are some of the wonderment up for auction: writing retreats, marketing consultants, agent critiques — much more valuable than merely submitting to an agency (and some of these agents are closed) — and author critiques, as well as a 5 Night Stay at The Writing Barn.
Writing Retreat
Hunger Mountain children’s and young adult editor Bethany Hegedus, author and owner of The Writing Barn is thrilled to donate this 5-day stay, worth over $1,000. The 5-day stay may be booked Monday through Friday (at an agreed upon time) for 2 guests. If a writing group would like to come, additional guests may book The Cabin, and if the winning bidder would like to extend their retreat, they may book weekends on either end of the 5-day stay for an additional cost.
