		<description><![CDATA[During the formative stages of judging for the 2003 EPPIE Awards, members were called to construct succinct definitions of fiction and non-fiction categories. Most categories, of course, are quite self-explanatory - how much more does one need to say about science fiction or historical fiction in order for an author to choose his/her respective category for entry?

		<description><![CDATA[The first few lines of any story are the most important -- and often most difficult -- words you'll write. The next most challenging piece of writing is the ending. Once you draw your readers in and take them through your story, you need to leave them with a satisfying conclusion. Here, then, are some tips for writing powerful endings:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many popular children's stories are really wish fulfillment for the reader. Escaping to a world where magical adventures and fantastic creatures are only a page away, appeals to the child in all of us. Enid Blyton wrote her series of Faraway Tree books decades ago, becoming one of the most popular children's authors ever. J.K. Rowling's world of wizards and wizardry schools has captured the imagination of children today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, one of the toughest issues facing writers is time...or the lack of it. Some of us work full or part-time, others attend college and may be working too, and many may be raising children. And then there are those lucky few, like myself, who no longer work, the children have left home, and are devoting their time to writing full-time.]]></description>

If your manuscript is not properly formatted, chances are the editor won't even read the first line of your story.]]></description>
