Submission Contest Coming Soon

We want to have a competition. Let’s make that delicate process of finding a publisher a little more fun.

We are still working out details, but the few readers we have here on wordpress can get a head start of thinking about what they are going to say!

So here is what we have so far:

In a submission addressed to Ashley and the subject of the email titled as Submission Contest/Last name/ Book Name,  please include a catchy cover letter. Have fun telling us about yourself, and how you came to be a writer. Then in place of our normal request for a synopsis, we are asking for one sentence describing your book. Hook us. Seduce us. After the one sentence, we are asking for a synopsis of your book in 300 words or less… and yes we will be counting each of those words. 

The contest will be held sometime in Spring. The winner will receive a contract to join and be published by Ink Smith Publishing. 

 

Spread the word! If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this post!
