Scintillating Starts Contest from Writer Advice, www.writeradvice.com

The openings of books matter. They determine whether a potential agent will represent your book or move on.

Writer Advice’s Scintillating Starts Contest is your chance to show how effectively you can grab and hold your readers. All unpublished prose is eligible. You do not have to have completed the book to enter.

Submit up to 1250 words of your first chapter by 12/02/20. We are known for our feedback and would love to tell you what’s working and what an agent might say. We'll also give an objective opinion about how an agent might react.

Initial responses come from an award-winning author. Other judges are the winners of previous Writer Advice Contests.

Lots more advice and details at https://writeradvice.com/latest-conte... along with the Submittable link for your work. If you have questions after reading the page, please use the Contact Us form at the bottom of the home page.

We'd love to read your work. TalentNever Too Late: From Wannabe to Wife at 62
