I might get a novel published!

[Mr Cat Dog]

I'm not putting this in the fanfictions, since it's not actually a fanfiction, and I'm not really going to spam up the places. Anyways. I'm going to enter this competition to actually get a novel published. The publishers in question are called PamMacMillan, and they have published Bridget Jones' Diary 1 + 2, and The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. If I win, I get ?50000 (O_O I know), and the novel gets published once I've finished it.

What I have to do is right the first chapter, and a synopsis of 4 pages or less, then send it into the TV show sponsoring the comp (I think it's Richard and Judy... a talk show for people who don't know these two oir don't live in UK).

And before everyone says: "Aw, you won't win" or "Ha! A kid trying to get a novel published" well duh! I know I'll be going up people double my age, but I don't care. I like writing, and it'll give me a chance to get my work "on the scene" as it is put... I'm so excited that even if I don't win, I'll have had some of my work read by a publishing company! ^_^

So... come December (that's when the comp deadline is) you may be talking to an official - and loaded - author!

That's pretty neat! Things like this are always worth a try ^^ Good luck in the compertition!

Yes, i know exactly what you're talking about, since i live in the UK too and watch "Richard and Judy". ^^ I did consider entering that competition myself and may still do. However, good luck.

That is so exciting Mr Cat Dog! Good luck I hope you win! And if you do you will have to send me a copy here in the states, unless it goes on sale here too! Good luck again!

What I have to do is right the first chapter

gee, I hope you wrote it better than you did that... :laugh: (j/k) good luck

Oh god.... but anyways... I've got 3 months to do that, so I'm sure I'll be able to spell-check it! ^_^ They said that the publishers do that for you, so spelling and stuff's not a big deal. Just the actual atmosphere and plot and so forth... well - better get started. If I do win - I'll post the first chapter in here for you all to read and enjoy :D
