writing competition in Greece

Happy Thanksgiving to all. How are all you lovely ladies doing?

Below you will find an e-mail exactly as I received it (sans a couple of changes to its grammar) which concerns an international writing competition. My only suggestion? Make sure that the competition is legitimate before sending any funds.




Dear "Kitchen Table" Writer,


I found your email address on the IWWG website. I love the idea of the'Kitchen table' and I was wondering whether you and the other women writers might be interested in the competition we are organizing. We are a creative writing centre in Greece and this is our first competition. The details about our centre and our views on writing you find on our website:

The details about the competition I have attached below but can also be seen on: www.limnisa.com/writingcompetitions



All best regards and looking forward to hearing from you,

Mariel
