Write The Next Chapter!
My new blogging and writing buddy Kathryn Harris, who’s an editor at The Norfolk Daily News in Norfolk, Nebraska, is sponsoring a fun contest through the newspaper.
I know there are dozens of aspiring novelists who read fallible, and I can’t pass up the chance to recommend this contest. At the paper’s website, Kathryn has written the first short chapter of a compelling novel, and she’d love to read the next paragraph, scene, or chapter from YOU.
You do know that many famous novelists got their start serializing their stories in newspapers, don’t you? One of my favorite authors ever, the Scottish Victorian preacher and novelist George MacDonald, supported his large family largely by releasing his novels in dribs and drabs to Scotland’s newspapers.
So here’s your chance to get your work read! In the case that more than one person submits a piece for the same spot, the piece published will be at the sole discretion of the newspaper editors.
Read all about it here, and then get those scenes and chapters (or even paragraphs!) written!
And, above all, have fun with it!
- Oh my... your blog is an absolute feast for the eyes and in every archive a gem.

- Jo--Thank you for reading and commenting! My hubby is my web designer. I have LOTS of ideas, but they would all come to nothing without him. I am off to enjoy your site now....
