ABNA Books is planning to put out an anthology of ABNA Writers writing about their experiences during the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award and their tips for future entrants of this and other writing contests.

Potential essay subjects could include:

How to prepare your manuscript
How to create a captivating synopsis
The importance of titles
Polishing up your excerpt
Navigating the forums
Threadaholics
Networking
Promoting your excerpt
How to get the votes
What to expect from the final three
Life after ABNA

There are countless topics, and ABNA Authors are the ones to write them!

We're asking for proposals (roughly 100 words) from interested writers, as well as a brief (2-3 sentence) bio, describing your participating in ABNA 2008. We will accept the applicable essays on a first-come, first-served basis.

Send proposals to info@abnabooks.com

We don’t have much time for this if we’d like to get it published before the deadline for the 5000 submissions. Last year this was in October, so we’d like the book to be ready for September. Which means we need these works ASAP.

Proposals are due to me by May 1, 2008, 12am (CST). We will respond to you as the proposals come in. The deadline for polished submissions is June 1. The essays should be 1500-3000 words. Considering the event has passed and is still fresh in our minds, the sooner we write them the better.

Please allow until May 10 for a response. If you haven't received a response by then, please assume your proposal has not been selected. It is not possible to reply to every proposal personally.

Questions may be directed to: info @ abnabooks.com
