Starting A New !

To be honest - this hasn't worked. It was our hope that Breaking Rules would be a place to help promote writers or all ages. To offer competitions, giving back to the writers so that they could continue to work on their craft. As well as offer scholarships for writers wanting to further their education, take workshops or just need supplies. Our mission is to create a writers community, provide encouragement, resources, competitions and inspiration to writers, both young and not so young at any writing level. We still believe in that mission but feel that maybe it's time to pull back and not necessary focus on the world and just focus on my area.

So, we are still going to offer open competitions for anyone, from anywhere, to submit to. But we are also going to create a READER - meaning that we will be working to create a place for writers in the St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Clearwater areas to submit writing samples and stories. To offer a place for them to promote themselves, either with the website, books that they have written or new releases. We will also help to promote workshops in the area as well as promote current competitions under the Breaking Rules umbrella. It is also our hope to help promote or be a resource for writers looking for editors,  publishing options or assistance with their projects. The goals is to create the rag and place it throughout the area in restaurants, lounges, hotels and condo's. Hopefully the patrons will be either be from the area and want to help support their local writers - or - tourists will pick up the rag, read it, buy from it, and take it home and help to promote the writers, editors, businesses, etc. inside. As well as spread the word about Breaking Rules throughout their own area and possibly drive writers to the Breaking Rules competitions.
