The 2014 Suzannah Contest is open for entries on August 15th!

Are you published? Fantastic!

Are you Unpublished? Terrific!

Hate trying to figure out what category your work belongs in? No sweat.

Could use an extra $300 and the eyes* of six industry professional? We got you covered.

Because we have the PERFECT contest for you….The 2014 Suzannah!

The annual contest of the RWA Chapter of NOLA STARS has a contest that’s, well, different. We don’t prohibit anyone from entering. Heck, Nora Roberts can enter as long as the manuscript is not contracted and/or unpublished in any format. There are no categories to figure out either because this contest resembles an editor or agent’s desk…or even the Amazon store. Every entry is out there waiting on three qualified judges to give valuable feedback and hopefully send the entry on to the panel of six industry professionals. Who might judge your entry in the final round? Take a peek:

·         Chelsey Emmelhainz, Assistant Editor, Avon Harper Collins

·         Patience Bloom, Senior Editor, Harlequin Romanic Suspense

·         Sarah Murphy, Assistant Editor, Ballantine Bantam Dell

·         Laura Bradford, Bradford Literary Agency

·         Erin Niamata, Folio Literary Agency

·         Kim Lionetti, BookEnds Literary

So this is definitely a contest you don’t want to miss! Opportunity is knocking….answer the door and visit http://www.nolastars.com and click on the contest link.

Early bird fee available August 15^th-31^st. Contest closes Sept. 30^th.

*please note these are not the actual eyes of the industry professionals because that would be kind of gross and unusually cruel of us J
