@Anthony Karcz - I’ve got a pitch, a few short stories that could make chapters, and a rough outline. I’m hoping it won’t hurt anything to throw my hat in the ring, but I’m also here more for the practice and the chance to get to know other indie writers (especially Nerdist listeners) as opposed to winning the contest this time around.
I’m polishing a Southern Gothic Noir MS right now, and I’m trying to decide if I’m willing to set it aside to get my Space Opera completely drafted. Now that we’re a few days in, I think I might use this round to find other writers to cheer for and hope to build some goodwill for when a genre I’m more prepared for comes along.
Thought provoking book exploring new ways to approach our understanding of Science & Spirituality. Combining physics & philosophy, it aims to overcome society’s restricted way of thinking, giving humanity a different perspective of things.
Hi everyone! Like a lot of folks, this is my first time doing this kind of thing.
Right now, my brain’s still kind of spinning from everything, but I just wanted to stop in and say good luck to the rest of the participants, and give thanks to the veteran players for their advice.
@Rhett Pennell Well, I can answer for @Joseph Asphahani and myself: Pretty much every waking moment was spent working on SOME facet of the contest. Everything from working on covers, updates, pouring over content, and actual selling.
If nothing else, the contest forces you to get everything in gear pretty fast and really polish up everything that ’surrounds’ the book. Pitch Lines, Synopsis, etc etc...
I’ll be honest, I’m sort of vicariously looking forward to watching the contest from afar this time while I sit back and read all the entries.
