I won't be entering the TARA this year. However, I'm on the hunt for other contests to enter at the moment. :)

Well, guess I missed the contest. I just found the site. I'm new in Tampa, have written an unpublished Autobiography with 25 outstanding, non-biased reviews. Began the Tampa Bay Area Authors Showcase Page on Facebook and announcing an event in Orlando tomorrow. Please visit and support us! Need more Authors for the event in late June, as well. Also need an Editor/Publisher and advice. Thank you!
