Topic: Strongest Start 2015 Finalists

Hi all,

We're ready to announce the Finalists for this year's Strongest Start Competition.  As I say during each contest, even if you didn't reach the finals, hopefully the process of entering it helped you improve the first three chapters of your book. Only six finalists could be selected but I know we will hear about many of the entries in the future as they make their mark on the publishing world. Congratulations to everyone who participated and made their book that much better.

The 2015 finalists are, in no particular order:

- The Fringers by Leanne Joseph

- Jewel by Lesley Weston

- Journey Through The Eyes of Zhou - Part One by Temple Wang

- PURGATORY, a place Down Under by Susan Stec

- Vitares by Penang

- The Laundromat at the Edge of the Universe by Ronald Quark

The winner will be announced on or around June 1, 2015.

Congratulations again.

Sol
