Craft First Chapters Contest!

CRAFT First Chapters Contest
 
CRAFT First Chapters Contest
 
Submissions are OPEN for the CRAFT First Chapters Contest. We are looking for excerpts of book-length fiction —please submit the first chapter or chapters* of your unpublished novels/novellas, completed or in progress. We welcome all literary fiction—our only requirement is that you show excellence in your craft. We are thrilled to be working with Naomi Huffman, editor and digital director at MCDxFSG and FSG Originals, as the judge of this contest. Ms. Huffman will select a winning story from a group of finalists for the $2000 grand prize, publication on CRAFT, manuscript critique, and agent review. 

2nd and 3rd place stories also selected by Ms. Huffman will receive $500 / $300 respectively, agent review, and publication with CRAFT.

If you have any questions, please send an email to contact@craftliterary.com.

The Fine Print: *Your entry may include more than your first chapter, up to 6,000 words total, but should contain complete sections—please do not leave us hanging mid-paragraph just to maximize word count—and must be the first chapter(s) of your book-length project, as if you were querying agents or publishing houses.

Another day in the park. Bonjour, Selamat Pagi!





Well, another day in the park on a Friday morning!



And here are a few thoughts before I let you go:-



Poetry is something that is quite untouchable,

Every living thing expresses it in some form or another.



I, who know nothing has been inspired by something,

So intricately beautiful, you simply cannot define its meaning.



Walk, even when the days are downcast,

Get up, even when you feel like you want to block the Sun,

Who tirelessly rises up each morning,

To give you another day to begin,

To nurture and to behold,

For I, who have been on death's door,

Have found meaning in Sunrises!



Have a great weekend everyone. I have this 2 1/2 day seminar to attend. It is the Bookology Bootcamp by Gerry Robert and I have a free ticket to the seminar. My first time attending something like this, so let's see how it goes.



Now, who goes there. Are you the M16, the special elite team, the special branch officers, the secret service?? I know someone is watching over me..who goes there??



Bye for now, take care!

Please subscribe to my you-tube channel, its free. I'll be doing more in the days to come:)
