#107953 - 02/16/07 01:49 PM First Chapters competition
dejavu journeyman Registered: 08/16/06 Posts: 319	Over at Gather.com, there's a "First Chapters" competition that is touted to be similar to American Idol. Millions will enter (okay, hundreds), one will win - a contract with Simon & Shuster. And even if you don't win, you'll get readers' comments to consider. I've entered the first chapter of my novel, And the Day After That, which you can read here: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976911360 However, if you wish to vote or comment, you have to join Gather.com (it's free). It's a general sort of meeting place message board where you can post your own writing (non-competition) whether it's fiction or simply opinion. I hope you'll at least consider reading my chapter, even if you don't vote. I'm really interested in reader feedback. _________________________ My website http://www.carolynagosta.com
