Last Call
You still have time. If you want to write for Kensington Brava, are thinking about writing a romance, love writing contests or whatever - enter the Brava Novella Contest. It is not too late.
During the last contest Sylvia Day wrote her entry in a short time and sent it out. I wrote mine in an hour, slept on it and sent it the next morning. We both finaled. Sylvia was the Reader’s Choice winner. We both now write for Brava.
UPDATE: Jordan Summers wrote hers in a day as well, and she won the contest the year she finaled!!! She published two novellas with Brava and now has books coming out from a whole bunch of publishers. So, see, there’s plenty of time to get yours written and in.
Really, you can do this. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain. You have until midnight central time on September 30th (Sunday). Get it done.

I did the same thing with the Brava and the Harlequin contest. Wrote them one day and mailed them off the next.

I took two days for mine and sent it before bed instead of sleeping on it.
Oh well, better luck for me next time. *ggg*

I just wrote something after reading this post, thanks Helen. I really wasn’t going to enter but I am taking my chances…

Jordan - Thanks for the reminder. I added you to the list in the blog in the hope of getting people excited to give the contest a shot.
Shannon - At least you tried. And, you’ve sold and sold and sold since then. Wahoo for you!!!
Rachael - Yay!!! I’m so happy you gave it a shot. Again, nothing to lose and everything to gain. It’s the perfect contest.

I just sent in my entry Helen because of your post about it. It really gave me that extra push I needed. Thank you.

I wrote mine before lunch and sent it before supper. The last time I approached a contest this way I won.
Good luck everyone!

It’s really great to think that there are still fairly easy ways for a writer to get noticed and published.
Just think how many of our favourite authors we would never have been able to read if it wasn’t for contest of this kind !
