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...)!

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

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??

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??
