FreeRice Challenge
Have you ever wondered if there’s more you can do to help starving people around the world? If so, our FreeRice Challenge may be just what you are after. It won’t cost you a cent, but it will increase you vocabulary. FreeRice is a UNICEF website where you can play word games. Every time you go to their site and play a game you’re providing rice for the starving. It all sounds pretty incredible, but I swear it’s true. You play, they eat – and it costs you nothing. For more information about how the FreeRice website works I suggest you visit their site and read their explanations. But simply put, advertisers only pay while the FreeRice games are being used. Therefore the more the games are played the more money is raised, which in turn means the more rice is bought and donated to those living in poverty. Our FreeRice Challenge1) Sadly, this Challenge is only open to our newsletter subscribers, so if you don't yet receive our newsletter simply fill in the box to the left of the the screen. It's okay you aren't signing your life away, there are no catches, you will just receive our Writing Information & Tips newsletter each month.2) Visit www.FreeRice.com and have fun playing their word, maths, science and language games. 3) Then every time you play and win, email me to say how much rice you have earned and I’ll keep a running monthly total. Hopefully together we’ll be able to increase our tally, enough to make a difference. It truly is as simple as that. With so much poverty around the world, it’s refreshing to hear of a way we can make a difference that is so easy. NB: There is even an option on their site that allows them to keep a running total of your rice grain score, so you’d only have to email in a total to us every few weeks or so. Below is a form I’ve put in to make it easy to send in your total. Please be honest with you grain score, there’s no point in exaggerating. FreeRice Challenge Totals

What people are saying about our online courses ...
'I'm delighted and proud of my first attempt. Thank you for a wonderful course. I have been enriched.'
AK, Zimbabwe
‘You were my inspiration in actually doing something with my writing. I would like to thank you for kicking me in the butt and insisting I do something!’
Bec, Australia
‘Elizabeth, this was a terrific, confidence building, well-honed little course. I would thoroughly recommend it.’
Margot, Australia
‘Writing is a labour of love when we expose ourselves by baring our soul. I believe Elizabeth Bezant has the skill to combine respect for our feelings, with pragmatic strategies to help us publish our precious efforts.’
John, Australia
‘Elizabeth, this was a great course and though it was short it has boosted my confidence in my writing. Thank you!’
Rachael, Australia
‘A very rewarding challenge – not too difficult, not too easy. Every word was welcome and useful. I edit other people’s writing in a really similar manner, but it’s amazing how difficult it is to see those same errors in your own work.’
Margot, Australia
'Great course Elizabeth! I would not have taken the time to seriously try this genre but for your course. I made the last few changes you suggested and have sent the essay in to ............. After reviewing their requirements I see that my piece fits in every way possible.'
SM,Canada
The critiquing to me was the whole point of the course. While the general comments and writing tips were vital as a backbone to the course, the personal interaction and direction was the whole point of it all.’
Sue, Australia
‘I thoroughly enjoyed course, and it being online made it a breeze.’

‘A publisher asked me to send her some of my writing this year. But I never would have without this course.’
Raewyn, Australia
‘I’ve just sent off the last of the assignments for critiquing and before I go any further I must say a very big thank you to you for the joy you have given me! Not only have I learnt so much from you, but I have also so appreciated all the encouragement and your wise counsel in assisting me to do something that I wouldn’t have believed could have been nearly possible. I will miss you.’
Yvonne, Australia
'Thanks to Elizabeth I can now source markets for personal stories, competently make my writing market-ready and sell it with confidence. Your editing skills are an asset to the writing community. I recommend this course to any writer who wants to break into this market.'
JOH, Australia
'I thought the way the market information was presented was not only informative but importantly for me it was written in a friendly manner. It took away some of the awesome fear I have of confronting the real world of publishing.'
KM, Australia
