The
Wisconsin Romance Writers of America's 2013 FabFive contest submission
deadline is closing in on us. All submissions must be received by
midnight Friday.
Some of
our categories have low entry counts this year. That makes your odds of
becoming a finalist and getting your work in front of an agent or
editor better than ever in this highly-popular contest.
FabFive
is available to writers unpublished in book-length romance fiction
during the past five years.
Self-published authors may also apply. Your
entry must be limited to the first 2,500 words of your manuscript and
must be submitted electronically. For an entry form and complete details
regarding rules and eligibility, click the Contests link on our
website: http://www.wisrwa.org.
Grab
this opportunity for a critique of your work and the chance one of our
final round judges may ask to see more of it. In last years contest,
agents and editors requested eight full manuscripts and eight partials
from our finalists.
Inspirational writers: We've established a new category just for you!
Our
fees continue to be among the lowest for contests of this type - just
$18 for WisRWA members and $20 for all other entrants.
Deadline
