\"LoveBannerPromoFeedback\"<\/a>It\u2019s been a long standing tradition that writing contests are not only good for finding those story jewels ready to be published<\/strong>, but they serve as a great platform for feedback even if the author doesn\u2019t win the contest.<\/p>\n

I know this from firsthand experience because I\u2019ve entered and judged a number of contests during my writing career. I have received and given extremely thorough technical and emotional feedback so the writers will know what\u2019s working well, what\u2019s lacking, and what needs attention.<\/p>\n

For that reason I love a good writing contest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And speaking of great writing contests<\/strong>, my book coach and friend,\u00a0Beth Barany <\/a>\u00a0and I have put our heads together and come up with a plan to help first-time novelists and all those aspiring authors out there in writer wonderland the opportunity to get valuable feedback on their first novels.<\/p>\n

We are offering you the chance to enter a contest where your work will be in front of a judge, peer, reader, reviewer, and industry professional \u2013 ME!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am an experienced contest judge.<\/strong> I love to read the sub-genres of romance and I review books for my website. I\u2019m a creative coach and editor in training with Beth.<\/p>\n

As a judge, peer, reader, and professional<\/strong>, I\u2019ll be looking for an opening that will hook the reader and provide a setting that is clearly established quickly and concisely. I\u2019ll be looking for characters who are unique, multi-dimensional, and sympathetic. I want them to face insurmountable conflicts and become stronger because of them. I\u2019m looking for strong secondary characters \u2013 the best friend, the moms and dads, and the co-workers who love the main characters and want them to succeed. I\u2019m looking for dialogue that moves the story forward, but is confrontational and doesn\u2019t sound like you and me speaking at a coffee shop.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll also be looking for a strong plot, a fresh style and your distinctive voice<\/strong>. Of course I\u2019ll be looking for those pesky grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors. But I\u2019m not expecting perfection. In fact, I usually determine that the writer with the greatest needs is the one I can help the most. Will you be that author who I will have the pleasure to critique and help?<\/p>\n

But you won\u2019t know if you\u2019re the lucky winner unless you enter the <\/strong>contest<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"LoveBanner\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We invite you to come to Beth\u2019s website Writer\u2019s Fun Zone and check out the requirements for the Romance Genre Contest for Aspiring Authors<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0running now till December 18th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

If you are a beginning romance novelist who is unpublished either traditionally or self-published, this is the <\/strong>contest<\/strong><\/a> for you.<\/strong> It only costs $10.00 for our administrative fees and the gift certificates, but the feedback you\u2019ll receive is priceless.<\/p>\n

The real reward to authors who enter and participate in writing contests such as our Romance Genre Contest for Aspiring Authors<\/a> is the chance for honest and sincere feedback from people who love to read and write, and in the long run, that sort of feedback can be worth more than the cost of the small entry fee we\u2019re charging.<\/p>\n

We hope you\u2019ll enter the contest and receive that invaluable feedback on your writing. Good luck.<\/p>\n
