From fanfiction to published novelist contest

bellabooks:

Calling all fanfiction and femslash writers! Have you been dreaming of having your writing published? At Bella Books, we know how important fanfiction is to the lesbian, bisexual and queer community. We also know how talented and hard working fanfiction and femslash writers are and we’d love to work with you on creating a brand new piece of fiction.

So how does this work?

We are asking for interested writers to send us 2000-3000 words (and no more!) of your best fanfiction OR send us a brand new piece you’ve created just for this. It can be any fanfic or femslash you like, from Wayhaught to Clexa to Supercorp.

Email your works to production@bellabooks.com

Send as either a Word Document or a Google Doc. No other format will be accepted.

Include your name (can be your pen name for now), a link to your Twitter profile if you have one, and a brief paragraph about why you are entering this competition.

The deadline for entries is August 15th.

Then what?

After we’ve received the entries, a panel of judges will narrow it down to three finalists. That panel includes Bella Books owners Linda and Jessica Hill, best selling and award winning novelist KG MacGregor, our resident fangirl and Bella blog managing editor, Dana Piccoli, and a special guest judge Valerie Complex, Rotten Tomatoes certified critic and writer for the site, Black Girl Nerds.

The three finalists’ pieces will then be put on the Blog, and Bella and fanfiction readers will vote on the author they’d like to see walk away with a Bella Books publishing deal. Yes, a publishing deal! Bella Books will work with you on an original work of fiction, to be published, supported and marketed by Bella Books.

So, what are you waiting for? We will begin accepting entries today! http://dlvr.it/PRwvh7
