The Point is pleased to announce, apropos of nothing in particular, the Blue Book Nonfiction Writing Contest, to be administered in-person, on college campuses across the country. The winning essay(s) will be published on our website. But not before an editor has a look!

Delighted to be in The Point with my thoughts on how you have to not try to get as much as you can out of your credit card airline miles, or your charity dollars, or sex, or life itself
