Closing date: 15 September 2020
Can you write a blurb for a hypothetical book?
This writing contest is all about book blurbs. The twist? The organiser wants blurbs about completely made-up, non-existent books. Get creative!
Write and submit a back cover blurb of 100 words or fewer that sets the stage for a novel, establishes the characters, and raises the stakes in a way that makes readers want to find out more.
Let your imagination go wild—and who knows? You may be inspired to turn your blurb into a novel of your own one day.
The award is USD$500 to the best blurb.
