Richard and Judy novel competition anybody?!

[mary81]

Just wondering if anyone is feeling inspired to enter? I have nothing at all to submit and just some half-baked ideas I'm sitting on, yet can't stop obsessing over it! I suppose it's that competitions seem more doable than blind submissions... there's a tiny glimmer of hope (or so I tell myself...)!

[SuckingEggs]

Hmm, am going to take a look. Thanks for the heads-up!

I know what you mean about a glimmer of hope...

They'd give you a contract if you won, but would the terms be much worse than a normal contract? They've got you locked in, after all ...

Would be interested but not sure where to start with this I do have a title for a book but its just getting pen to paper and ideas

[megrunning]

Has anyone entered this? In the Ts and Cs it says you can't enter if you've ever submitted before to either a competition or an agent and not won/ been picked up! Seems quite harsh... And daft as we know many great novels get some rejections!! Would u just ignore this and enter anyway??

[Naicehamshop]

That seems very harsh meg
I haven't entered this (yet) but am just about to post my entry for the Daily Mail one, so I guess I am barred from this??
