2018 Brings Changes to 50 Authors from 50 States Blog

I love how far this blog has taken us!  Countries all over the world stop in each week to learn about publishing and writing avenues, talented authors and the states they love and live.  I want to thank all visitors for continuing to support this project.

In thanking you, I’ve decided to offer even more during 2018.

Once again, you’ll have the awesome experience of learning about books, places and people who write in the USA and you’ll still have the chance to win great prizes each week. 

Unfortunately, the END OF THE YEAR GRAND PRIZE is gone for 2018. 

INSTEAD: If you stop over and leave a comment on this blog during the month, you’ll be eligible for the MONTHLY GRAND PRIZE!!!  That’s correct: At the end of each month, 50 Authors from 50 States is giving away a GRAND PRIZE to one person who leaves a comment during that month.

SO-if you comment, not only will you have the chance to win each week, you’ll have the chance to win for the month! You'll have to comment and you'll need to leave a form of contact 
(or email your contact info to Annette using the contact tab on this blog after you comment-so we can easily find you if you win.)

I’m really excited about the new direction 50 Authors from 50 States is going and I’m looking forward to sharing the talent across the USA.

Starting the year, I’ve highlighted a Virtual Library from Alabama.

Finding this made me investigate more of these across the states-which reminded me of the origin of this blog in the first place-to increase my awareness of the writing world and its professionals and learn about more places to visit. I'll be on the lookout for these reading nook's of the future this year for sure.

Also joining us in January is Ken Weene, a veteran of this blog, and a unique voice in the written word,

Linda Carroll-Brand, a new talent here,

and Author, Pamela Nowak, who is
passionate about the American West, those who lived there and relationship stories. With freshly-crafted characters, unique conflicts, and a complex interweaving of actual history, her award-winning historical romances bring new perspective to the concept of “western.”

All of these, and so many more, will guest in 2018  so check back every week to find something new!   If you follow this blog, you'll be immediately clued in on the posts as they air.

Have Safe and Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year and Thanks for Visiting,

Annette Snyder-50 Authors from 50 States Blog Owner
