Hey! It’s Friday night and I guess
all of you out there are ready to spend your weekend either lazing around in
your beds or partying with your friends. Sounds tempting, right? But I have another option for you. Why don’t you start writing
that one book which you have always wanted to write but “never got enough time ” to
start with it because of hectic office schedule, family commitments or school
runs. Well now is the time to put end to all of your excuses and set your eyes
on that one publishing opportunity
which could actually change your life forever.
Harlequin India is back
with the yet another amazing opportunity for aspiring writers. Harlequin announces annual Passions -
Aspiring Authors Auditions 2013 for romance and general fiction aspiring
authors. This year the
renowned publishing house has opened the doors for general fiction writers too.
This year’s judges are
renowned authors themselves – noted author and columnist, Shobhaa De and Mills &
Boon global author from India, Shoma Narayanan.
Budding writers
can submit a 100 word synopsis and first few chapters of their original story
in no more than 5,000 words on or before February 7, 2014 on www.hqnindia.com. Writers in the general fiction category
should also submit a detailed plot outline of 500 words. The winners will be
rewarded with an assured editorial mentorship that will help them turn their
ideas into best-selling fiction books and the possibility of a publishing
contract.
Past editions of
the Passions contest, have led to the discovery of several new voices for the
Mills & Boon imprint. These authors, such as Milan Vora, Shoma Narayanan,
Aastha Atray, Ruchi Vasudeva, Adite Banerjie, have published Mills & Boon
novels set in India.
