Hello, She Writers! I have a very exciting announcement to share with all of you. The She Writes group Southern Writers, is have a blog tour! Spearheaded by former guest editor and current Reality Check columnist Zetta Brown, this blog tour is an excellent opportunity  to visit the personal blogs of your fellow She Writers. Special thanks to Zetta Brown and the ladies of the Southern Writers group for putting all of this together! Please find the official announcement below.

The She Writes Southern Writers 4th of July Countdown Blog Tour

The Southern Writers of She Writes cordially invite you to The She Writes Southern Writers
4th of July Countdown Blog Tour.

The purpose of this tour was to give as many of the members in the Southern Writers group a
chance to offer their hospitality by having others visit their home blogs.

During the week leading up to the 4th of July, two blogs will be featured every day sharing their
interpretation of the tour’s theme: “Southern Living.”

People who leave insightful comments on the blog post(s) during the tour will be entered into a
random drawing to receive a special Southern Living-themed prize (worth $50) donated by Zetta
Brown and JimandZetta.com Author/Publisher Services.

The more blogs you visit and the more comments you make throughout the tour, the more chances
you get.

It would be nice to turn this into an annual event if interest warrants, so come on out!
