Write On Online 4th Annual Query Contest
Note: With respect to our writer friends on the East Coast, we have extended the deadline to Wednesday, November 7.
In our continuing effort to help writers jump-start their careers, Write On Online is pleased to announce the 4th Annual Write On Online Query Contest.
There will be three query categories … and three winners: Fiction Book, Non-Fiction Book, and Screenplay/Teleplay Query. Stephanie Palmer, author of Good in a Room, will choose the winners from the finalists. Palmer will be the guest for our October Write On Meeting on Blog Talk Radio.
The winner in the Screenplay category will have his or her query letter read by Los Angeles literary agent David Boxerbaum of Paradigm; Boxerbaum represents a myriad of important motion picture and television writers, directors, and producers.
The winning fiction and non-fiction book queries will be read by Jason Allen Ashlock, Co-founder and President of Movable Type Management, where he oversees the development of print and digital properties for the company’s authors and media clients.
Each of the winners will also receive one of the following books from Michael Wiese Productions:
