THE 2012 ROSE & CROWN
NEW NOVELS COMPETITION

OPEN FOR ENTRIES!

What a great way to get your book published!

If you have a manuscript ready, or want to write one before the deadline, here's what we want: Intelligent Romance with a Christian Inspirational flavour! With strong characters and storylines, and locations around the world, some will be contemporary, others historical. They will vary in style to include humour, travel, adventure, crime/detective, Western, military, etc. As long as they have a romance at their heart and a Christian worldview, no gratuitous sex, violence, or foul language etc, they fit what we are looking for. If you'd like to get to know the genre, read several of this type of book such as these examples, but especially read Writing the Christian Romance!

Obviously, your manuscript must never have been published in any form (including on the web). We don't mind you submitting to other publishers while the competition is running, but if you accept an offer for publication during the course of the competition the book is immediately no longer eligible to win either a prize or publication contract, and we cannot refund your entry fee. This is to ensure no conflict of rights and is in both your interest and ours, as well as those of your new publisher.

Should you be offered a publication contract by another publishing house during the course of this competition, you will be released by us from any obligations - we don't want the competition to stand in the way of your opportunities! :-)

Please ensure that you put enough postage on your envelopes; we will refuse mail for which we have to pay a surcharge. Thank you. :-)
