Sealed Bids: An Extremely Rare and Absolutely Fantastic Opportunity for Writers!
The Writers’ Police Academy is extremely pleased to announce that we’ve partnered with the renowned Homicide Training Seminar to offer a free registration to their absolutely fabulous and intensive “law enforcement only” 23rd annual conference titled “The Places of Murder.”
You would be the only writer/outsider in attendance. This is actual specialized police training!
This exciting and rare opportunity is available by sealed bid only and the bidding is open to everyone.
Here’s how it works.
Each year at the WPA banquet we feature a super fun raffle and silent auction, but many people who, for whatever reasons, haven’t been able to attend the event and they expressed disappointment because … One – they weren’t able to attend the thrilling WPA. Two – they weren’t able to participate in the raffle and auction.
So … we’re bringing a portion of the fun to you.
This year we’re making available for sealed bid, three fantastic items. They are:
Available for Sealed Bid
1. A Baby Taylor guitar signed by country music superstar Tim McGraw.
2. Free registration to the absolutely fabulous and intensive “law enforcement only” 23rd annual Homicide Training Seminar – “The Places of Murder.” You would be the only writer/outsider in attendance. This is actual specialized police training!
A rare and unheard of opportunity!!
*Full registration, hotel reservation, and breakfasts and lunches are included in the prize. Travel not included.
3. A FULL manuscript review and analysis by renowned literary agent Victoria Sanders. Not just a mere 10 or 20 pages. We’re talking a FULL manuscript analysis and review!! Victoria represents internationally and New York Times bestselling thriller writer, Karin Slaughter, who has been translated into thirty-five languages, the long-running New York Times bestselling author Denene Millner, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist/author Nick Chiles, the American Book Award winning journalist/author Jeff Chang, among many superb authors.
Here’s how it works – Bids on these special items are open to WPA attendees & folks who aren’t able to join us this year. Non-attendees may send confidential bids to 2016wpa@gmail.com and put either Manuscript Bid, Guitar Bid, or Homicide Seminar Bid as the subject heading.
Remember, these opportunities are extremely rare, so reach high and dig deep!!
At the posting of this message, bidding is officially OPEN! Good luck, and thanks for your support!
*Winners will be announced shortly after the conclusion of the August 13th WPA banquet.
2016 WPA attendees may submit their sealed bids at the Saturday night banquet.
Auction proceeds benefit writers by contributing to WPA expenses, academy tools and equipment, supplies, etc.
As always, we thank each of you for your support. And please, please, please share this information with everyone you know!!
