Sol,
May I enter the contest and still edit my material until the due date? I assume, if so, that whatever chapter edits I make will also occur in the files publsihed for the contest...?
Thanks,
Tonya Mitchell

We are pleased to announce the launch of the 2015 Strongest Start Book Competition. The competition has over $1,000 in prizes in addition to the winner receiving an opportunity for their book to be reviewed by an Amazon Hall of Fame Reviewer, when it is finally published.

The launch of the contest coincides with the release of our new contest platform. We can now create contests for any group and in the future will allow groups to create, release, and market their own contests.
Entering is a big different from the old site. To enter, there is now a new tab when you publish work called Contests. That tab allows you to enter your book into the contest. If it says you are not eligible, then you either do not have your work posted to Premium, or the work was posted too long ago and you need to repost.
If you have other questions, feel free to post them.
Good luck!
Sol

I concur, really great writing I've enjoyed reviewing them this morning. I'm in 1840's at the moment...
Dunecan, just sent you via private messages a great resource on NYC. Plenty in this book to get you immersed in the 1840's. It's chock-full of all kinds of information

Tom,
My era is late 1880's New York. Journalism, horse cars, and a strong heroine who agrees to be committed to an insane asylum to get a job in the man's world of newspaper reporting. Give me a shout if that sounds compelling at all. What do you write?

Hi, Gacela.
Tonya noted that she had nothing posted because she needed points. Once she does a couple of revies, I bet we see a post or two.

Mariana: I just did a few reviews and earned enough points to post my prologue! So it's there now. Take a look. My period is NYC, late 1880's: horse cars, newspapers, and an insane asylum. If that's intriguing, give me a shout.

Tonya: be very welcome. I tried to check your material but I found nothing posted so far. I'm not sure if I'm the right person to review hist fiction. It all depends on the era--it's not the same ancient Rome than XIX century England. That's why I wanted to take a look at your material before offering my help, but I couldn't find anything published.
Anyway, it's nice you've joined. There are fabulous people at TNBW. It's nice you've just become one of them.
Kiss,
Gacela
