Hi folks,
I was just notified the novel I'm currently working on was named a Finalist in the Killer Nashville Claymore Awards. This is a prestigious award and I'm stoked. But, I'm even more stoked that a student in my online novel-writing class--Les Edgerton's Bootcamp for Writers--is also a finalist for the novel she's finishing up in class. And... Cheryl Arko was a Finalist last year also, for another novel she wrote in class!
2023 Killer Nashville Claymore Award Finalists
Awarded to the Best First 50 Pages
of an Unpublished Manuscript at the time of entry into the competition.
Finalists are chosen from hundreds
of submissions. As a benefit to Finalists, for entrants who are interested,
Killer Nashville will make every effort to help Finalists secure an agent
and/or publisher. Our goal is to see each and every Finalist manuscript
published.
Winners in each category and overall
best manuscripts will be announced at the 2023 Killer Nashville Awards Ceremony on
Saturday, August 19, 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee. Finalists are heavily
encouraged to attend to meet with agents, editors, publishers, and fellow
writers.
