Hi! Dominique Gibson is back with another post. I don’t know if I actually made a confession when it came to my writing and publishing journey but I did announce that I was going back and forth with being a hybrid author. In case some authors are scratching their heads, trying to figure out what this means, I will be happy to explain this to you down below:
Hybrid Author: An author who has both a traditionally published book with a publisher and a self-published book.
Considering that I already have self-published five books as an indie author (Three in the Truson S.E.T. series and two in the nonfiction space), I have decided to dip my toes in the water once again by trying to get the attention of a literary agent or publisher through a contest. The contest is called The Storyteller’s contest and it’s sponsored by a website called The Writer’s Sanctuary. This contest is a perfect way for both aspiring and self-published authors to get their work seen by two bestselling authors and have the opportunity to win a mentorship and the possibility of having your work seen by a literary agency!
What are the requirments?
- You only need to submit the first page of your unpublished work.
- Follow the instructions they state on the entry.
- Pay a 25 dollar fee (Yes there is a fee but it’s a small fee depending on what you get as a grand prize.
Want more information about this contest? Click on the link here for more info. Hurry, the contest ends on February 29th, 2024 at 11:59.p.m. (Pacific time).
That’s all for now, see you soon.
