Big Break For Young Writers

Young aspiring journalists now have a chance to let their voices be heard. Kurama Magazine is launching a writing contest that is open to English-speaking writers all over the world. The winner will get his/her very own column on the web site as well as a $50 gift voucher for retailer Book Source, the sponsor of this contest.

From January 12th to February 20th, anyone between the ages of 18 and 32 can enter a sample of writing for a chance to win. The sample must be no more than 650 words and should be within the theme the contestant would want their winning column to be about. For instance, if the potential column would be about fashion, the writing sample should be fashion-related.

There is so much raw talent out there that needs an outlet to shine. Kurama Magazine has thousands of fans worldwide and this exciting internship opportunity will be a great boost for the career of one lucky budding journalist.
