Unpublished Authors…Crazy Amazon Contest…Enter to Win!

You can’t win if you don’t enter.

PW informs us of a new Amazon venture, a novel-writing contest for previously unpublished authors.

Amazon is launching the first ever ‘Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award’ today in cooperation with Penguin and Hewlett-Packard. Amazon will accept submissions through November 5 and the winner will have his or her novel published by Penguin, which is also offering a $25,000 advance. PW will serve as preliminary judges of the material as well.
