Why
The best way to become a better writer is to write. The purpose of the Pure Heart Young Authors Challenge is to acknowledge and reward your good writing skills and to provide you with an opportunity to see your work in "print". Pure Heart Publishing is urging budding young authors to develop and sharpen your writing skills.
The Pure Heart Young Authors' Challenge is a “challenge” rather than a “contest” because it emphasizes the personal standard to which you hold yourself. It is not a competition amongst your peers. And what an extraordinary blessing it would be to start with a personal challenge that will result in gifts and prizes and maybe even seeing your book professionally printed and published and ready for bookstores!
