I had the local news on in the background while I searched the web, and heard something that caught my attention. Amazon is holding a contest for a novel–this is really exciting.

“Are you a writer longing to be discovered? Submit your manuscript for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. It’s the perfect opportunity to become the next great novelist: the winning author will receive a publishing contract from Penguin Group, including promotional support for their book on Amazon.com, and a media suite from Hewlett-Packard.”

To read more about this contest go to this page.

I’m hoping they do this again next year. Right now, I would have nothing to send! Next year? Well, I can only be hopeful! If someone enters, I would love to hear about it.
