Writing Competition Results
I published two novels in 2014 and entered both in the 23rd Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards. The first was “Green Machinations”.
The United States judge described it as “an excellent story for those who are passionate about the future of our earth. This is a truly important entry for thoughtful people who care. I think the elements are charming.”
The judge further said: “I think this would be a useful novel for book clubs and classrooms, and for anyone interested in the environment – which should be everyone! Because this is such a vital topic, I hope this author will reach many readers with this work.”
The judge awarded my entry a 5 out of 5 (“outstanding”) in 5 judging categories and a 4 for cover design.
The second novel was “Hillsend”.
The judge said: “An enjoyable summer read full of romantic intrigue with interesting and intriguing characters the reader can root for. The book is really worth reading [and not to be judged by its cover]. Right away, I was drawn into the story. The characters and dialogue were realistic. Often I smiled at their banter. I kept turning pages, wanting to know what would happen. Overall ‘Hillsend’ is a great read!”
The entry scored the same as my other book. Very gratifying!
Now all I have to do is get discovered!
