Grace researched and wrote a monthly column about writing contests for 'Writer Online' from November 2002 until January 2006. Features she covered include; Seasonal Contests, Personal Essay Contests, Book-length Contests, Poetry Collections, Horror Writing, Contests for Younger Writers. Sadly the publication ceased in January 2006 but the archived articles are still available (as at September 2007).

See comments from her editor, publisher, and readers here.

Refreshed contest feature articles are always available for reprint (three months after original publication date) - Contact Grace for further details. Sadly 'Writer Online' ceased publication in January 2006. Grace is now publishing her comprehensive knowledge of contests in 'The Contest Expert Guide' series of books for writers - more details here.

Grace's own contest wins include - Booger Flash Humour Prize and the Murray the Chicken Literature Prize. She's still waiting for her Booker nomination, perhaps finishing her novel would be a good initial step.

Additional clips and editorial references are available upon request.
