This is Your Novel-Making Money

You might like to know about the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award, an international competition seeking the next popular novel sponsored by Amazon.com, along with Penguin Group (USA) and CreateSpace. The Breakthrough Novel Award brings together talented writers, reviewers, and publishing experts to find and develop new voices in fiction. For the first time, the competition will award two grand prizes: one for General Fiction and one for Young Adult Fiction. The 2010 competition will also now be open to novels that have previously been self-published. Each winner will receive a publishing contract with Penguin, which includes a $15,000 advance. If you’re an author with an unpublished or previously self-published novel waiting to be discovered, visit the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award page to read the official contest rules, learn how to enter, and sign up for regular updates on the contest. Open submissions for manuscripts will begin on January 25, 2010, through February 7, 2010.
