“A Child of Immigrants” Wins Pennwriters Slogan Writing Contest

(I-Newswire) March 1, 2010 - PHILADELPHIA, PA - When Pennwriters held a contest in January to find a new slogan for its highly-rated online courses, writers from nearly every continent flooded the organization with entries. After careful consideration, the winning slogan is “Building Careers, One Course At A Time.”

Gail G. Collins, a journalist for the Arizona Daily Sun and co-author of the book, NIGERIAN GEMS: EXPATRIATE TALES OF ADVENTURE, was the contest winner of the $100 credit for any Pennwriters online course in 2010. She resides in Houston, TX. A child of immigrants and a traveler, Gail has won a short story writing contest before. Her Web site is http://www.gailgcollins.com.
