Shopping a novel? - Look at amazon.com
Amazon.com is doing a competition for a break-through novel:
Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award
Deadline for registration is: November 5th, 2007
(How can they do that to all those NaNo-ers?!)
Process: Once the submission period ends, Amazon editors and top Amazon customer reviewers will read submissions and select authors for the semi-final round, beginning January 15, 2008. Each semi-finalist will receive a full review of their manuscript by Publishers Weekly and a book page on Amazon.com featuring a short excerpt from their novel that customers can download, read, and review. Penguin will select manuscripts to read from the semi-final round based on customer feedback and Publishers Weekly reviews and announce the Top Ten finalists on March 3, 2008. Amazon.com customers will then select the winner of the Amazon Breakthrough Award, to be announced on April 7, 2008.
Also, only the first 5,000 submissions will be looked at.
