CONFERENCE AND CONTEST - Weta Nichols

Yes... I'm blowing this up extra big so you can't say you didn't see. LOL
We only have 6 days left to enter the Weta Nichols Fiction Writing Contest.  SIX DAYS!

This is a great contest. I've entered (and placed a couple of times) over the years since being a member of Ozarks Romance Authors in Springfield MO.  Our group puts a lot of work both into the conference and coordinating this contest.

The Weta Nichols Fiction Writing Contest was started in honor of one of our founding members and has become the crown of our annual conference.

DETAILS:

FINAL ROUND JUDGES:

Contemporary–Liz Pelletier, Publisher and Co-founder of Entangled Publishing and Savvy Media                                                       Services, which owns Savvy Authors.

Submit the first chapter (up to 2,500 words) of your unpublished novel to win prizes and a chance to be read by one of the agents or editors serving as our final judges.

Contest is open to both published and unpublished authors, but the piece submitted must be unpublished (traditional, self-pub, or e-pub) and not under contract to be published.

Categories in which entries may be judged are: Historical, Contemporary, Paranormal/Sci-Fi and Young Adult/Middle Grade. Entries are open genre and not required to contain romantic tones.
