Hi, fellow expats!
I'm the curator of I Must Be Off! where we're having our second annual travel essay contest. The deadline is June 30, and there's no entry free. Expat stories along the lines of moving to a new world, etc. are in line with the concept of the travel essay. I also run a monthly expat author interview series. If you are a published author and you'd like to be featured, let me know.
I hope some of you will enter the I Must Be Off! Travel Essay Contest. Just reply to this message, and I'll give you the link to the guidelines. Or if you Google I Must Be Off, I should be the first entry. The link to the guidelines is at the bottom of each post.
I must be off,
Christopher

Hi, Alessandra!
You can read the guidelines Here: , but any essay or article that has not been published before that is also on the subject of travel is eligible. The expat experience is definitely a good topic for the contest. You can browse last year's winners at I Must Be Off! too to get a feel for the contest.
All the best,
Christopher

Hi, Alessandra,
I'm not sure why the link didn't format right. Here it is again: imustbeoff.com/2014/03/announcing-second-annual-i-must-be-off.html

You can't post direct links here, you need to break it up or something. But aside from that, are there any guidelines for submissions and any prizes?

Being a new member may have some bearing on this too.
