Borders have teamed up with Pan Macmillan to search for new talent including writers in a new competition to tie in with a book called 'The Fame Formula,' but this is not for shy and retiring types.
The Fame Formula book is written by PR guru Mark Borkowski in which he "dissects the fascinating, bizarre, sometimes sexy and frequently amusing stories of the publicists behind the greatest stars of the last 100 years to help us discover the roots of the modern fame phenomenon."
The competition is looking for someone with 'a talent that needs recognising' - that includes writers, singers, actors, filmmakers, artists, musicians, models and more.
The winner will win fifteen months worth of representation by PR agency Borkowski - consultants to the likes of top stars and brands including Led Zeppelin, Van Morrison, Joaquin Cortes, Prince, Cirque du Soleil, IKEA, Cadbury, Sony and Vodafone.
To take part - and just the idea of doing so terrifies me - you have to put together a video - there will be booths available at events and entries are accepted from August 4th. There will also be instore events at Borders featuring Mark himself where you can perform your talent for him to see - but audition tickets are limited.

Evidently former British Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo thought it was a good idea. He adapted a version of the epic poem just for kids. I guess you would file that under "not just for grown-ups". You can read what he thinks about the new film adaptation (in 3-D, no less. I did not know it was released in 3-D.)
