PM Moon Publishers inaugural writing contest is underway with impressive results.
(1888PressRelease) November 23, 2008 - According to Sandra Poole, Administrative Editor, PM Moon is eager to offer publishing contracts to unknown writers out there.
"When we decided on a contest," said Ms. Poole, "we never expected this kind of response. It is wonderful that we can offer a full publishing contract to the best of the best. This is just part of our Mission Statement.

Our judges are wonderful and already working to find that special new title."
