I have some exciting news! My publishing company, Garden Avenue Press (GAP), has partnered with Building Relationships Around Books (BRAB), an online book club of over 1200 members for an amazing writing contest.

BRAB is the sponsor of the Writers Got Talent contest, in a search for creative stories in romance and women's fiction that feature people of color. The first place winner in the published and unpublished author categories will receive a publishing contract from GAP, as well as a $250 advance. 

Get your manuscript ready and mark your calendar. BRAB starts accepting entries May 1st. Here are the details: 

• Open for Entries:  May 1, 2017
• Deadline to Enter:  June 9, 2017
• Fee: $20 non-refundable (unless the contest is canceled)

Entry requirements: The first three chapters, not to exceed 30 pages, and a synopsis, not to exceed two pages. 

For more details, visit the contest page. 

There are only 20 slots in each category, so make sure you submit early. Good luck! 

​I recently opened the doors of Garden Avenue Press (GAP), a digital-first press, to publish romance and women’s fiction. The editors are looking for sexy stories, emotional stories, and unique stories. GAP offers a two-year contract and a generous split.
