When we launched, we had one primary goal in mind:
To bring together a community of bloggers who support each other and better each other day by day.
With our community being just one month old, we are floored at how you all are doing exactly that. Now, we want to take you a step further. We will be sending two bloggers in our network to Aiming Low’s Non-Conference being held at the Calloway Gardens in beautiful Georgia!
The Aiming Low Non-Conference looks forward to being an event unlike any else you’ve come across. A writer’s retreat that will help you return to the nuts and bolts of writing words. We are bringing some of the best writers of the Internet to talk about their experiences. They are looking forward to meeting you.
…and we are looking forward to sending you!
Up for grabs are two spots at this incredible conference, which, by the way, The Pioneer Woman herself- Ree Drummond, is the Closing Key Note speaker! Two lucky bloggers will have their hotel stay, fees and taxes paid for by Simply Sassy Media (you must secure your own travel upon acceptance of prize), plus an additional small stipend to put towards travel, child care, booze, blackmail money… I mean, uh, conference shoes? Heh.
If you have ever wanted to fine tune your writing or are serious about branding yourself, this is THE conference to get to! So how do you win your spot?
First off, this contest is only open to anyone in the Simply Sassy Media Network. (How do you join? Sign up for our newsletter HERE) and those who are fans of Aiming Low (via Facebook and Twitter).
Here is how you enter: Write a post telling us/Aiming Low/your mom why we should send YOU to Aiming Low’s Non-Conference! Show us your chops, tell us your story, tell us we’re pretty… I mean, do not hold back. This is not up for a vote, we’ll be picking the two best submissions. Leave your link in the comments below.
This will be open until 9/19 at 11:59pm EST. Winners will be chosen and announced on 9/21. Good Luck everyone!
Wow, this is in my neighborhood. Sorta, kinda, count me in regardless. I wouldn’t miss this.
Thanks for the chance to win! We would love to attend this conference. Here is About A Mom’s submission: http://www.aboutamom.com/2012/08/5-reasons-laura-mom-and-i-should-get-a-free-ride-to-the-aiming-low-non-conference.html
I NEED to go to this non-conference!!! Please read my blog post to see why: http://www.actingbalanced.com/2012/08/simply-sassy-media-please-send-me-to.html
This is such a great contest. I can’t go during that time period but I appreciate what you are doing here! Just wanted you to know!
I just subscribed to your newsletter. I would like to go because I am a new personal blogger and would love to meet other women bloggers as well as learn from them. I need to learn how to grow my blog and really how to get people to comment. I’m getting reads, but no one is commenting.
Quick – head over to the womans site, before she finds out that I hijacked her blog!
She gets the newsletter and follows, yada, yada, yada.

It’s going to be an awesome conference – heck, I’m going to be there. You can’t lose!
Well, technically, you COULD lose. But you won’t.
I promise.
I consider this a binding contract!
Oh balls. Here goes nothing. Here is my entry you gorgeous gorgeous people.

Well crudola – your comment, by itself, will probably blow my dogs request to send me to Aiming Low, right out of the water:-(
Been there and done that – LOL – and probably heard that more times than you! I’ve got 10 kids with big mouths. How many do you have?
I’ve got 4 1/2 year old twins. YOU HAVE 10 KIDS?! That is a whole lot of “penis poop vagina.” My hat is off to you.
Love me some competition!!!! Here’s my link to my post:

Enjoy!
Thank you for offering this chance at the possibility of going to the Aiming Low Non-Con. I want to go so badly I can taste it. And it tastes surprisingly like chicken.
Here is the link to my essay: http://modmombeyondindiedom.blogspot.com/2012/09/aiming-high-for-aiming-low.html
Mine said the same. I hope it went through!
I would have been there in a hot minute if it wasn’t on my daughter’s birthday.

wow. i am nervous. and it is getting so close!!! eeek!
I submitted a comment, but it says it’s still awaiting moderation and since one of my hang ups is impatience and the other one is anxiety, I’m gonna go ahead and do it again. Just in case.
Thanks, Simply Sassy Media for this contest! I want to go to the Non-Con so bad I can taste it! And surprisingly, it tastes like chicken.
