LILAC CITY-ROCHESTER WRITERS ANNOUNCES

1st & 10 in 2010

Are you a new writer, looking to see if you're headed in the right direction?

Are you published, wanting to reinvent yourself or considering a new genre?

Are you tired of hearing 'the story begins in the wrong place'?

Need a fresh fix? We can help! Give us the first 10 pages of your unpublished work, any fiction genre; show us how you plan to hook an editor or an agent.

With more than ten years experience sponsoring the Barclay Gold and Sterling Contests, LCRW has earned a reputation for providing detailed and personalized comments on our score sheets. No entrant goes away scratching their head, wondering what the scores actually mean!!!

Why come to us?

We're cheap--$10.00 for 10 pages

We're green-all entries are submitted electronically [including payment if you want]. Score sheets and the entry, with comments directly on the manuscript pages, are returned via email.

Judging: our first round judges have been trained via the RWA model; many are published in different fiction genres, alternate formats and length. Second round judges: An acquiring agent and an award winning, multi-published Harlequin and Berkley author.

Let us help you to return that opening kick-off into a run for the end zone!!
