Hello Willow readers! We have some exciting news to share! Once again, the Willow Awards has teamed up with Snow and Diamond finalist author Colleen Nelson to provide you with the chance to win a Skype visit with her! Because she has two books that are Willow finalists this year, she is offering to host two skype sessions!
The #winwithWILLOWS contest opens on December 3, 2020 and all you have to do to enter is take a photo of your Willow readers reading Harvey Comes Home or Sadia. Tag @WillowAwards and the author with the hashtag #winwithWILLOWS and you are entered! Contest closes on January 31, 2021 and winners will be notified in the first week of February via instant message.
