Come ON! We Know You Can Do It!
May 8th, 20083-Day Novel Contest and Forbes Library
Can you produce an entire novel in a mere 72 hours? Join hundreds of writers all over the world and find out for yourself! The 31st Annual International 3-Day Novel Contest, sponsored by a group of Canadian publishers, will take place over Labor Day weekend. The grand prize is publication and the second prize is $500 cash.
Join Jacqueline Sheehan, author of the best seller, Lost and Found, and Forbes Library’s Writer-in-Residence, Diana M. Gordon, for an informational session on Wednesday, May 21st at 7pm at Forbes Library. At this meeting the contest rules will be reviewed and helpful information to get you prepared for this writing marathon will be provided. And they will provide writing prompt or two to get you started!
Forbes Library will be giving special t-shirts, printed “Shh. I’m writing a novel and it has to be done by Monday,” to anyone who officially registers and pays the contest entrance fee. For those that actually submit a manuscript, Forbes will offer a small gift and a chance for a public reading at the library.
The 3-Day Novel Contest is an opportunity to put pencil to paper, or fingers to keyboard, and write the novel you have always dreamed about. Contest organizers advise,“Keep energized, stay hydrated, keep your goal in sight and let the momentum of the contest charge your creativity and break through your blocks.”
Sound interesting? Come to Forbes Library on Wednesday, May 21st at 7 PM to find out more.
