Hi Steve! 

Gotham Writers Workshop (is a) creative writing school based in New York City and online.

I’m on Steve Still Standing because I was searching for writing blogs on WordPress, and yours came up. I was reading some of your poetry—it seems like you’re passionate about the craft of storytelling, and I thought you might be interested in sharing Gotham’s newest creative writing contest with your followers. 

Gotham is hosting the Be the Hero contest, where we invite people to write a story of a hero in 50 words or fewer. The winner gets a free class with us, and we will send the winning story to each of the 100 members of the US Senate and the 435 members of the House of Representatives, along with an entreaty to fight for the right actions. 

People can enter for free at http://gothamwriters.com/contest/be-a-hero.

Thanks for helping us find some heroes!
