Announcing the 2009 Strongest Start Novel Competition
We’re pleased to announce the official start of the Strongest Start Novel Competition 2009. Like last year, the Competition is designed to motivate writers to produce (if you haven’t already) the strongest three opening chapters. We hope the Competition will serve as a catalyst to get writers to work together to craft openings that will compel agents, publishers, and readers to keep reading.
This year, we’re pleased to announce that BookSurge has agreed to provide several of the prizes for the competition, including a full publishing package to the winner valued at $2,400. TheNextBigWriter will also be providing the winner with $500 in cash
Runner-up prizes include cash as well as an editorial evaluation of your manuscript from BookSurge.
Full information on the competition can be found by clicking on the link below.

You can see all TheNextBigWriter entries at:

Books and novels already posted on TheNextBigWriter can be entered into the competition as long as the first three chapters were posted after April 16, 2008. You can still re-enter if you posted before this date but you’ll have to repost your first three chapters or post them again.
Any questions you have can be posted in the Strongest Start Forum.
In addition, like last year we also created the forum to provide a place for writers to discuss and share ideas on the art of crafting a compelling opening.
I’m also linking to last year’s forum to serve as an additional resource. View last year’s forum.
We look forward to receiving your submissions. Thank you and good luck to all!
