For any unpublished author, gather.com is hosting the First Chapters Romance Writing Competition.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. She's currently loving contemporary authors like Sarah Mayberry and Kristan Higgins but her first love will always be the historical. Some of her old time favorites are Amanda Quick and Johanna Lindsey and some of the new favorites are Sherry Thomas, Joanna Bourne and Claudia Dain.

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.
