A follow up to this conversation. I don't agree with his views on self-publishing but his experiment was interesting.

Is the criteria too challenging? If so, we make it a bit more open.

Re: New Writing Contest (107 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
We haven't had a mystery contest before and so I liked the Locked Room concept. I would have done the fanfiction angle but I know some writers like to submit their contest entries for publication, and that wouldn't be possible with fanfiction. So, I added two other criteria. I hope you find the contest challenging and fun.
We certainly look forward to reading them.

How about a closed room murder that must also combine two fanfics that would never go together? I'm liking the idea.

Re: Questions about re-posting a novel (17 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Hi Tom,
I agree with the advice you've been given. I'd republish it as a new book. I think that's the cleanest way to go.

Re: Question for New Members (11 replies, posted in New Members)
Hi Nita, you are in the right place. The genre doesn't really matter that much. It's more a guide for your readers. If you were to put the book up on Amazon or in a bookstore, what genre would you choose? Where would you place it?
I also noticed that you have posted your chapters as separate books. They can all be posted as one, which keeps iyour chapters together. There is a video on posting which might prove helpful.

Just to be clear. I need hard copies of the books. If you want them included, you'll need to send me a copy.
