question about the rules
The rules state: Writers may not enter more than one Category Competition. If your book fits into multiple categories, choose the most appropriate one.
What if I have three books to enter? May I enter all three in the main, and also enter each in their appropriate category? Or must I choose one of the three books only?

Re: question about the rules
You can enter all three in the main and ONE subsidiary category. You can't enter a title in more than one sub sidiary categorty.
Thus entering: The Cat's Revenge in both main competition and humour is legitimate, entering it in main, humour and horror is not.
But you could enter it in main and humour and enter another book (or books) in the main and either the same subsidiary or another one.
At least that's how thing seem to have worked in the past.

I do urge other authors to resist encroachments on their brain-children and trust their own judgment rather than that of some zealous meddler with a diploma in creative punctuation who is just dying to get into the act - George MacDonald Fraser (author of 24 international bestsellers)

Re: question about the rules
Really? That's how it sounds, but the writer of the rule may not have been thinking of multiple novels submitted by one author.
It would make sense to enter each novel in its appropriate subcategory. Has this been asked before? I'm too lame to search.

Remember last year how Penang was competing against herself. She had two titles selected as semi-finalists in YA, wasn't it?
