LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - March 27, 2008) - Got the WRITE stuff? WritingRoom.com -- the premier online
community for both aspiring and accomplished writers to engage, share,
encourage and appraise each other's work -- is going to make one author's
dream come true with its first contest, WritingRoom's Author Launch
Contest.
Eagerly accepting manuscripts from now through June 18, 2008, the talented
winner of WritingRoom's Author Launch Contest will not only have their
manuscript published but will also receive: copy and content editing;
custom cover design; professionally written book cover synopsis; marketing
kit; press packet and a national press release; retail bookstore
distribution and retail return insurance; 20 copies of their book; a video
interview by WritingRoom.com; and
an invaluable half-hour phone conversation with New York Times Best Selling
Author Jon Land.
This critical dialogue with screenwriter and novelist Jon Land, whom
Bookviews recently called "the greatest thriller writer alive today," is an
invaluable resource for the winner. Land is the author of twenty-six books
(fifteen national bestsellers) and is also published in over fifty
countries and six different languages. As there are currently almost seven
million copies of his books in print, Jon has proven to be a master in the
world of writing.
This writing competition will be discerningly judged by Lindsay Preston,
CEO and creator (WritingRoom.com/lindsay) of WritingRoom.com, the aforementioned Mr.
Land (WritingRoom.com/Jon_Land), Susan Ludsin, a retired literary professor
from John Carroll University (WritingRoom.com/Susan_Ludsin), and Joel
Pierson, a well respected editor from AuthorSolutions with more than 20
years of experience (WritingRoom.com/Joel_Pierson).
The manuscripts will be meticulously appraised for the quality of writing,
the author's ability to engage the reader, originality of the author's
voice, story and character development and its marketability. To enter
simply email your manuscript (as an MS Word file attachment) to:
Contest@WritingRoom.com. For all contest details check out www.WritingRoom.com.
WritingRoom.com wants to thank Wordclay.com for its generous
participation in their first writing contest.
The winner will be announced July 9, 2008!
Writers on your mark!
