I’ve always dreamed about writing a book. Imagine the life… getting up whenever you like, wearing your comfy pyjamas, escaping to a fantasy world in your mind, and then getting paid for your thoughts, sounds good to me! Well I’m pretty sure it’s not really that simple but the idea of writing a book really does appeal to me. If you’ve always fancied yourself as the next Jackie Collins then get yourself over to Cosmopolitan’s website and enter their competition (in conjunction with Waterstone’s) to produce the next bestseller.
The competition ends on 31st May so you best get your thinking cap on and dust off your laptop if you’ve any chance of winning, but it can be done. All you need to do is send a synopsis of your story and the first 3,000 words of your novel along with a mini biography of yourself. It’s chick lit they’re after so nothing too factual or dull! The winner will get themselves a publishing deal and their book will feature as Waterstone’s offer of the week! What a fab opportunity to get yourself recognised.
