CALEB Prize

There's still time to enter the CALEB Prize hosted by Omega Writers before it closes on June 30, 2010. The competition is for faith-inspired books by Australian and New Zealand authors and publishers which were released between January 1, 2008 and June 30, 2010. If nothing else it's exposure - and you can never have too much of that!

So if you qualify, check out the links and consider entering.

Quotes on Books

Literature adds to reality, it does not describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become. C S Lewis

Writing is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public. Winston Churchill

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed. Ernest Hemingway

You have to write badly in order to write well. William Faulkner

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original; whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. C S Lewis
