In July I will be starting something called:
What is it?
A contest for authors.
Each month I will be looking for the BEST first chapter of a novel. The winner will receive a $20 Amazon Gift Card AND will be interviewed on both my reader and writer blogs which have had over 30,000 page views in the past year. In addition, I will tweet about your book to my 12,000 followers and do a write up about why I chose your novel as my "chapter one" pick of the month.
For the first month, I will be accepting 50 entries. I might change this later...I need time to write after all ;) but I will do what I can to maintain this number.
TO ENTER...
Comment on this blog post below. If you are one of the first fifty to comment, send the first chapter of your novel to my EMAIL ADDRESS.
In the subject line of your email put: CHAPTER ONE
And then please paste your chapter in the body of the email, and NOT as an attachment.
And then please paste your chapter in the body of the email, and NOT as an attachment.
The winner will be emailed by the last week of the month, and look for their interview (and hopefully YOUR interview) the first week of the following month. If you were not chosen, you may submit the first chapter of a different novel the next month. Short stories are also eligible.
Why am I doing this? Those who know me already know, but if you don't, one of my favorite things to do is promote up-and-coming authors. I received a lot of help in the early days of my journey from some amazing authors, and it's important to me to give back.
Best of luck to everyone!
