For any unpublished author, gather.com is hosting the First Chapters Romance Writing Competition. The prize is a contract with Pocket Books/Simon & Schuster and a $5000 cash advance.
Details here.
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

We don’t like to censor comments nor do we endorse the comments of any poster. We do reserve the right to moderate comments but most of the time will not, believing, as Justice Brandeis did, that the greater good is in “more speech, not enforced silence.”
Thanks for the news - I plan to enter so vote for Misgif :)
Open to Americans only, as I recall.
Is this the same Simon & Schuster that had that pesky little perpetuity clause? hmmmm…. I’ll take a pass, thanks.

Yes. There are a few of them around lately. Don’t they know about the internet?
well… to be fair it *is* a closely guarded secret ;)
