Participate in the Sledgehammer 2010 Survey

As we begin the new year, we at Indigo Editing are looking for ways to improve our Sledgehammer Writing Contests. The past two years have been a blast while shattering writer’s block in both Portland and Seattle. We want your input to make this year’s Sledgehammer the most successful!
