Wanita won the copy of Leave It To Chance by Sherri Sand! Congrats, Wanita! Send me an e-mail via this blog with your address and I'll get the book in the mail to you.
Speaking of contests: There's one over at The Writing Show. It's their third annual First-Chapter-of-a-Novel Contest. The deadline for entering is June 20th. First prize is $1000! Four other cash prizes and ten 750-word critiques also awarded. For more information, go here.
But, here's a quick take on what they're looking for:
We want to find the world's best first chapter of an unpublished novel. Above all, you must tell a compelling story. That means that you have to grab us so quickly, so completely, that we can't stop reading, even if the house is burning down.
And thanks to The Writer's Edge blog for bringing this contest to our attention.
Have at it, all you fiction writers. Let us know if you enter!
