Free Critique For New Writers From Author Brittany Glynn

Brittany Glynn, the award-winning author of Dreams, a romantic suspense debut novel, realizes how much writer to writer collaboration can help on your journey to publication. “So many people helped me along my path to becoming a published author that I wanted to pass along help to other aspiring writers,” she said. “I know how how much a little encouragement can motivate a new writer and I wanted to give that push to a few talented and deserving people.” She's decided to offer that push in the form of feedback and special gifts to inspiring new fiction writers.

Here's the nitty-gritty of Ms. Glynn's amazing offer: 
From June 15 – July 15, 2012 only, Brittany will read the first three pages of writing submitted in the fiction genres of contemporary romance, women’s fiction, historical romance, romantic suspense, humor/comedy, adventure, chick-lit, inspirational, and mystery.

Shortly after July 15, Brittany will email her feedback to her chosen top ten from all of the entries submitted. She will also request additional writing and give more feedback to her top three chosen entries. Finally, on or before August 15, 2012, Brittany will choose her favorite entry and post their name and a sample of their work on her website  at http://www.brittanyglynn.com, and on her social networking sites, including her Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001616528108. The author of Brittany’s favorite entry will also win a gift basket of books from her publisher, Cool Titles (http://www.cooltitles.com)

Guidelines for Submitting:
For works of fiction that fall under the accepted genres listed above, please send only the first three pages of the writing as an attachment in Microsoft Word format to: writingsubmissiontobrittany@gmail.com.

Please put “Writing Entry” In the subject line of the email.

In the body of the email, and following the format below, please include on separate lines:
Your name
The city/state/country in which you live
Genre of the writing (from the list above)
Title of the work
The format the work will be in completed form (book, short story, blog, etc.)

There is no cost to submit, however entries that do not follow the above submission guidelines will not be reviewed. In the event that you are Brittany Glynn’s top selection, by submitting your writing you are giving Brittany Glynn permission to post your name and a portion of your writing on her website and social media sites.
So, fellow writers, spruce up your pages and get them ready for the award winning Brittany Glynn. Dreams is the winner of a silver medal for fiction from The Moms Choice Awards®, and a silver medal for religious fiction from the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) Benjamin Franklin Awards. Of course, it makes sense that you should read Dreams (if you haven't already) before submitting, to get a feel for Brittany’s style and preferences in writing (here's a sample on Brittany's website to get you started).

Good luck to all the writers that take Brittany up on this fantastic offer and a huge thank you to Brittany for being magnanimous enough to think of others! How awesome is she?
