This competition will run from 07/26/2014 02:00 GMT to 08/6/2014 02:00 GMT . During the competition, users may submit edited work. To submit an edited piece, first save a copy of the original text you're editing, edit it, then save a copy of the new text as well. It should be an extract of around 500 words if it's a short story or a novel, but edited poetry will also be accepted. Please post both the unedited and the edited extracts of text in this thread, each within separate spoilers. Also include a link to the work's full text if it is posted on YWS. The competition will be judged on how much the piece has been improved by the edits. This is why we need you to submit both the unedited and the edited versions. If you have edited the work in the past, and still have the original draft, you may submit consecutive edits of the extract. You may only submit one extract of one work for this competition. This competition is being hosted by the club Adopt A Novel club in an attempt to get people to not only finish, but complete their novels once they're done writing it. No matter what you're writing, you'll probably end up editing it at some point before publishing, so this contest is to help us get the best out of our edits. Please consider joining Adopt A Novel and help members like you by chain reviewing novels. Prizes 1st gets your work advertised on our wall and a mystery gift 2nd gets a mystery gift 3rd gets a review on one of their works by the judges Rules 1) Submit both the unedited and edited versions to this thread 2) Include ratings and warnings outside the spoilers. 3) You may only enter once. If you're unsure of how to create spoilers, please contact someone for help, or investigate the Big Book of YWS Codes . Good luck and happy editing!
