Invitation for Writers

We're inviting writers to participate in our next collaborative novel, the sequel to The Love Boat Bachelor. This new book will release on Kindle June 15, then in December, we'll release all three stories - A Dozen Apologies, The Love Boat Bachelor, and the new book in one print volume in both print and digital formats.

As we did with A Dozen Apologies, we're offering the opportunity for writers to submit chapters for the novella, based on the story synopsis and first chapter that we'll provide by e-mail upon request. 

To be considered, you'll write two chapters of 2,500 to 3,500 words each in the specified character's third-person, deep POV. This story will be much like The Love Boat Bachelor and its predecessor, A Dozen Apologies in that the readers will get to vote for the hero they think will be the best man for our heroine. There will be nine or ten authors writing heroine chapters, along with a first chapter written by the creator of the heroine and the final chapter written by the author who creates the winning hero. 

There are eight WIP authors writing chapters. We will select one - and maybe two - contestants to participate in the final project. The winning contestant(s) will be offered the same contract as the other participating authors.

The deadline to submit chapters is April 15, 2015. 

If you wish to enter, please send an e-mail with the subject line SEQUEL INFORMATION, and we'll send you the information by March 1. [UPDATED: Information packets will be sent out March 3.] Send your e-mail to editor[at]writeintegrity[dot]com.

Writers: Valentine Contest

Writers and Aspiring Writers, we’re announcing a new contest just for you!

Do you write romance, or do you want to get started? Do you love Valentine stories? We’re working on our Valentine 2014 project and are seeking entries. We’ll publish a Valentine novella with 11 authors and one winning contestant. The line-up of authors includes several bestselling writers, like Fay Lamb, Debra Ullrick, Marji Laine, and Debbie Roome, and we’ll introduce you to some new favorites as well.

The release of this book involves some other fun surprises too, including another contest for readers, and the winner will share in a percentage of the royalties. It’s a great way to gain exposure for your already published books, or a great way to get your foot in the door with a publisher and build your publishing credits.

Contestants are required to write two chapters, each chapter 2500-3000 words in length, based on the story synopsis and first chapter we’ll send you. Deadlines to submit the two chapters for the contest is November 1, 2013.

We have a special marketing plan in place that will require some author involvement (we try to make it more fun than hard work!) from mid-January through the end of February 2014.

If this sounds like a project you wish to participate in, please send an e-mail requesting more information to Tracy at editor {at}writeintegrity {dot}com. Requests for information must be made no later than Friday, September 20th.
