If you are a writer and a lover of fairytales, I’ve got good news! Rooglewood Press is delighted to introduce their third fairytale novella contest—
Five Magic Spindles: a collection of “Sleeping Beauty” stories.
The challenge is to write a retelling of the beloved fairy tale in any genre or setting you like. Make certain your story is recognizably “Sleeping Beauty,” but have fun with it as well. Make it yours! I won’t have time to enter this time around, with my book in serious edit mode, but I hope to see some of you give it a ‘spin’!
Rooglewood Press will be selecting five winners to be published in the Five Magic Spindles collection, which will be packaged up with the phenomenal cover you see here. Maybe your name will be one of the five listed?
All the contest rules and information (how to enter, story details, deadline etc.) may be found on the Rooglewood Press website. Just click HERE and you will go right to the page.
Rooglewood Press’s first collection, Five Glass Slippers is available for purchase, and our second collection, Five Enchanted Roses is scheduled to launch on July 27, and is currently available for pre-order. Be certain to get a copy of each and see what previous winners did with their wonderful retellings.

Sounds fun! I missed the first two fairytale contests, but I think I might enter this one. 🙂
You should! It’s a creative challenge without a huge commitment or big entrance fee.
