Mills & Boon Looking for New Voices
September 7th 2010 17:27
Mills & Boon opened their New Voices competition for submissions yesterday. They are looking for new romance writers (who've not had any novel-length fiction published). During the first stage writers can upload the first chapters of their romance novels. Here's how it works:
- Submit your first chapter until September 22.
- If you make it into the top ten, you'll be asked to submit chapter 2 of your novel on October 11. The top ten is announced on September 27.
- On October 19, the top four are announced. These four writers will then upload a crucial scene of the novel on October 26 to help the judges and readers decide which of the stories they want to see published.
- The winner is announced on November 1.
The winner of the first prize will not only see her (or his) book published, she'll also receive support from an M&B editor for a year, get an iPad and an M&B hamper.
Sounds good? I think so, too. And I have an almost-ready-for-submission first chapter of a romance novel I'll certainly enter into the competition in a few days. Fingers crossed!
