Shari Maurer: Adventures of a Young Adult Book Writer
1. Teen Writing Contest

Currently reading: SWOON AT YOUR OWN RISK by Sydney Salter

Attention Teens!!! If you are in Grades 7-12, live close enough to Nanuet, NY (that’s Rockland County) to come to the Barnes and Noble there and love to write, we have the contest for you.

On Saturday, December 11th, I am going to be speaking and signing with four of my fellow authors at a Teen Author Event at the Barnes and Noble. They include:

Shannon Delany

In honor of this event, we are holding a fiction writing contest. The winner will get a 15 minute one-on-one critique with one of the authors right before the December 11th event, as well as a signed copy of their book.

The rules? Well, you must be in 7th-12th grade. You can submit a short story or first few chapters of a book, up to 10 typed pages. Any genre: contemporary, historical, fantasy, realistic, steampunk, horror, paranormal…you name it.

Entries can either be e-mailed to me at [email protected] or brought to the Nanuet Barnes and Noble store.

Deadline: November 11, 2010

Any questions, please e-mail me.

We’re looking forward to a great event and very excited to read all of the entries.

Start writing!
