Authors Rachelle Chase and Leigh Michaels are sponsoring their third annual Chase The Dream Romance Novella Contest.
Novella Definition.
From the email:
"Submissions: The first 1,000 words of an unpublished romance novel/novella or novel/novella with a romantic theme.
Judging: Each week, I will choose one finalist and post the entry on the web site. Then, at the end of the contest, editors and agents will post their comments and readers will vote for their favorites to determine the top three winners. Each week, Leigh will also choose one entry to win a mini-critique, which will also be posted on the web site.
Prizes: There are fantastic prizes for winners and entrants alike. In addition, editors and agents will read all the finalist entries. While there are no guarantees, each year, nearly all the finalists received requests from editors and agents, some of which resulted in book sales.
New for 2009: You can now get advice from the agents/editors on what they look for in the first 1,000 words. Click here to listen to what the agents/editors have to say.
It's *FREE* to enter! Check the site for rules, last year's winners, and more."
