Once more with feeling! I've entered my newly revamped novel THE PROSPECT OF MY ARRIVAL in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest (ABNA). They accepted 10,000 submissions from around the world. After a nail-biting night, shortly after midnight March 16, they revealed the Top 500 Quarter Finalists.
I'm proud to report my novel is among them!
Last year I made it all the way to the Top 3 and was flown to New York. But I didn't nab the top prize. Help me win the book deal with Penguin and they'll fly me to Seattle for the awards ceremony.
Blog looks great! I'll try to start reviewing (including yours) when I get back in town next week =)
ReplyDeleteHurrah for Dwight! It's really good news. I'm surprised there was nothing in the rules to say you couldn't submit the same book. Has it changed a lot since last year? Strangely I can't download it this year due to 'geographical restrictions' but will make every attempt to review and vote.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EU.
ReplyDeleteHi, Josie. Yeah, I had looked through the rules and only saw the restriction that the ms. couldn't have been published. Actually there were other entries from last year that also were re-submitted. That seems fair to me as many of us have slaved over revisions based on contest input. I know I was curious if my new version would fare even better. So far so good.
