Our Third Annual Dream Grant is now closed...we're tallying the votes... and the winner will be announced shortly

Do you have something you really want to write about, a place you really want to go to research an article, or perhaps you just need a little bit more time off of work so you can write that best seller?  If you have a dream…we have your grant!

Our Annual "People's Choice"  Dream Grant Award

Although we were only able to offer two Dream Grant awards in 2006, we strongly felt that number was just too low for the large amount of ambitious applications we received.  That gave us the idea to try something new.  We decided to give each and every one of YOU the opportunity to help us raise enough money to offer ONE MORE DREAM COME TRUE opportunity to an aspiring writer.  With votes costing $5 each, in 2006 you helped another dream come true!  After the close of our 2007 Dream Grant in November...we'll be turning to you again to request that you cast a vote for your favorite dream and help one more aspiring writer reach his/her goal.
