2018 GREAT EXPECTATIONS CONTEST CLOSES
~January 27th~

MIDNIGHT, CENTRAL TIME

The Great Expectations Contest is for unpublished material, to include works from unpublished authors as well as unpublished works from published authors (if you are a published author, please see the 2018 Rules for details.)

Now in its 17th consecutive year, North Texas RWA can help you receive unbiased opinions from three qualified judges on the first 5,000 words of your story. The top four scoring entries (or five, in the event of a tie) will progress to the finalist stage of the contest, where top editors from leading publishing houses will determine the winners.

We can't wait to read your submissions! Thanks!
