Can You Write Like Jane Austen?

[image error]




If you're a Jane Austen fan, you don't want to miss this.



My friends & colleagues over at Adams Media are running a Bad
Austen writing competition.



In the tradition of the Bulwer-Lytton Contest and the Bad Hemingway and Bad Faulkner
contests, here's your chance pen a scene of a "classic" novel Jane
Austen never wrote.



How is it done?



Write a scene no longer than 800 words.

You are free to determine plot, characters, and setting.

Obviously the style must parody Austen.

Other rules apply, which you can
read about here.



The top reader-voted scene will receive special recognition in Bad Austen,
the book. So … go forth and write
like Jane Austen!
