A bloody great opportunity, redefining political journalism, and watching “The War”… it’s all happening TODAY on Gather!

(1.) Love a great crime story?

Love to write?

Love watching a little TV?

Then have we got a cool opportunity for you!

TODAY, Gather is proud to announce “The Court TV Search for the Next Great Crime Writer Contest.”

If you have a great crime story just begging to be told, send it to Gather and you could be the winner of a publishing contract and a $5,000 advance!

To find out more about this exclusive opportunity, visit courttv.gather.com. But, you need to act fast… submissions are only being accepted for a limited time.

(2.) Now, say crime fiction isn’t really your thing. That’s okay. Gather has amazing opportunities for all types of writers. TODAY Gather is also on the hunt for the next, great political blogger. Could it be you? If you think you have what it takes to make the world sit up and listen… we want to hear from you! Check out Gather’s Election 2008 group to find out more about a political blogging opportunity of a lifetime.

 
(3.) Finally TODAY, it seems everywhere I go these days people are buzzing about the  Ken Burns documentary on PBS, “The War.” Are you watching it? What do you think? Is this Burns’ best work yet? Join the conversation with other Gatherers watching and talking about this ground breaking series. Here are a couple articles to get you started:

 "The War" by Ken Burns: A review of episode 1

PBS "The War" - Veterans History Project 

Have a great Monday everyone… and happy October!
Pam

Pam...I think a little more is happening on Gather then this....and it effects our whole Gather community. If you get a chance you might want to check out Ivy's article "I Will Not Be Silenced".

fantastic! crime novels! I'm a huge fan, and though I can't think of any at this moment that are worthy of submitting, I'll be there to cheer on the others! thanks Pam!~

Thanks, Elizabeth (and Danielle). I had just finished e-mailing Support about why a couple of articles I tried to post on aren't "clearly marked" as comment limiting (or eliminating, or whatever). I tracked down the article you referenced. Here's the link: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977133264
