Win $1300 in Marketing/Editing Aids for Bettering Your Writing Career

Because of Twitter's hacking problem, Tony Eldridge, master marketer and author, has extended his Twitter contest. And, though it is primarily book marketing prizes, my Frugal Editor is among the $1300 in prizes. Lucky us!

That's because Tony and I both believe that great editing is one of the most important aspects of marketing. Think "pristine query letters" as an example.
