Strongest Start Novel Competition 2010
Put your first three chapters to the test!
Greetings!

Novel competitions are pretty rare, so we're thrilled to announce a competition for novelists and novels-in-progress! TheNextBigWriter's Strongest Start Novel Competition is for writers who want to put their first three chapters to the test.

If you've been working on a novel, or have one written already, polish your first three chapters and consider entering this competition. TheNextBigWriter is an online workshop. By entering, you receive feedback on every chapter you submit. This is a great opportunity to have your work-in-progress reviewed, and you may even win! You do NOT need to have completed your entire novel, so this competition is open to those who have started or are working on their novels.

We hope you enjoy this wonderful contest, and we wish you the best of luck!

Keep Us Reading

We know that writing a compelling start isn't easy. So, for the fourth year we've put together a motivational competition to help you hone your first three chapters to perfection (if you haven't already). We're looking for opening chapters that will create a burning need to find out what happens, how the characters turn out, how the novel resolves itself. The kind of start that gets an agent to call back, a publisher to show interest, and a reader to plunk down their hard earned money. Above all, give us three opening chapters that will keep us reading.

Submission deadline: June 8, 2010
