Launch Competition!

I thought we’d honor the launch of our site with a competition!

We’re going to provide two $20 vouchers (or equivalent at Amazon) for two readers as a runner up prize, and a consultation as a grand prize.  We’re also offering five honorary prizes, again at random, for one article write and one article rewrite over a month.  These articles can be ghostwritten, or a guest post, but YOU get to choose the subject.

A consultation?

One of the key tennants of Forensic linguistics is that each of us has a unique set of words we use – called a corpus.  These corpus’ are what makes us, and are a key part of our image.  If your language use isn’t matching up with exactly what you want to project, if your image and your language is somehow, out of sync, you can use our suggestions to fix it.  So we’re offering ‘corpus makeovers’.

How to enter

It’s simple – just comment and say that you’re entering – with a question about something you’d like to understand or find out about.  Get an extra entry with a retweet of this post (please use @ciscopywriter to count your tweet).  Get a free mini crit if you post this competition to your blog, (copy the post vertabim and link back, or do your own write up) plus get an extra three entries – so you can get a total of five entries by spreading the word.

(EDIT 1:)

DOH!  Forgot to add.  Competition opens from the 7th to the 31st of December – with a ‘surprise’ drawing on a different post between the 20th and 24th.  The draw will be on the 4th of January.  Spread the word (please?)
