I have seen so many authors/aspiring authors/literary agents running contests right now. And now I want in! I'm going to ask a few writer friends to help me judge so I'm not biased. Here's what I want to do!
The Contest: An art/fiction contest.At the same time, I am holding a "likes" contest.
You can choose to either write a short piece of fiction using your own characters, ect, or draw one of my characters from Nineteen.
If you choose to write your own piece using your own characters, guidelines are:
Poetry and short stories accepted.
Poetry should be less than two pages long. Short stories should be less than six pages. Nothing explicit, please. A few curse words is fine, but no sex or drugs.
If you choose to use my characters, ect, here are the guidelines.
You can choose to draw: Whisper, Matthieu, Albion, or Christophe. If you plan to do this, send me a message and I will send you a character description.
For the "likes" contest, the guidelines are:
Post about my page, my books, ect. Screenshot it and send it to me. You'll get one point for each time you talk about my writing. This can be on your blog, your twitter, your facebook, your writing site. Whatever.
If you get someone to come and "like" my author page and tell them to post on my wall that you sent them, you get two points. So if your friend, Bob, likes my page and tells me you sent him, that's two points. If Susy does the same, that's another two points.
Link to my facebook author page, which people should "like" for this contest to win these points:

Ah, Prizes. The best part.
I'm giving away TWO copies of A Promise of Forever, my self-published novel. I'll post another note with a pitch and a small excerpt. Each will come with a hand-made bookmark depicting my novel of your choice from the list below, designed, painted and signed by me (because it's just way too much fun.)
Have fun, followers! Let's make this contest as big as it can be! CONTEST ENDS ON MARCH 15! Send your submissions ASAP!
