I have a WIP that might work for this, but I don't think it'd be done by the Sept 21 deadline. Do they run this context periodically? I might try it on the next round. Thanks so much for the heads up.

Yes, this is an annual contest. There are a good number of RWA (Romance Writers of America) chapters that have contest annually that use publishers and agents as the final judges, too. I organized one for my local chapter this year and the editors requested submits from the top two in each category. Submitting through contest is a great way to gauge response to your story without the pressure of directly submitting to an editor or agent. Plus, usually only the first few chapters are sent which gives you time to work on the remainder of the book while you wait.

Hey, while we're on the subject, those of you who have used Wattpad, what's been your experience there? I've been thinking about trying it out, whether or not I do this contest.
