It’s time once again for the YA Novel Discovery Competition! From Serendipity:<\/p>\n

Young Adult Novel Discovery Competition<\/b>
Get in Front of Top YA Editors and Agents with
ONLY the First 250 Words of Your YA Novel!<\/a>
No query? No pitch? No problem!<\/b>
Serendipity Literary Agency, in collaboration with Gotham Writers’ Workshop, is hosting its Third Annual Young Adult Novel Discovery Competition for a chance to win a one-on-one consultation with one of New York’s leading YA literary agents! <\/p>\n

If you’ve written a novel for young adults\u2014or have an idea for one that you would like to write\u2014we invite you to enter our contest. Simply submit only an enticing title along with the first 250 words from the opening of your original YA novel. Go here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/YAContest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GREAT PRIZES<\/b>
The Grand Prize Winner will have the opportunity to submit an entire manuscript to YA literary agent Regina Brooks and receive a free, 10-week writing course, courtesy of Gotham Writers’ Workshop, plus a collection of gourmet teas from Possibili-teas.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Top Five Entrants<\/b> (including the Grand Prize winner) will receive a 15-minute, one-on-one pitch session with Regina Brooks, one of New York\u2019s premier literary agents for young adult books. They will also receive commentary on their submissions by editors at Scholastic, Disney, Harlequin Teen, Random House, Viking, Roaring Brook Press, Sourcebooks<\/i>, and Kimani Tru<\/i> and<\/b> receive a one-year subscription to The Writer Magazine<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The First 50 Entrants<\/b> will receive a copy of Writing Great Books for Young Adults<\/i> by Regina Brooks.<\/p>\n

Enter to win http:\/\/bit.ly\/YAContest<\/a> – right here. Here’s the kicker: the contest ends November 30, 2011<\/b>, so if you’re doing it, DO IT NOW.<\/div>\n

Even though sometimes we find that author contests are somehow deceptive – either with hidden costs inside or hidden scams or something else, this one seems to be the real deal. Regina Brooks is an actual agent and this is a way for her agency to find new authors and enjoy tea and the attention of editors at the same time. In fact, we at Wonderland can honestly endorse this contest because we know someone who placed in the Top 5 last year, and she’s really enjoyed having an agent and having her work read and critiqued in preparation for publication. We know that someday soon her very nuanced, detailed, and exciting fantasy will burst onto the scene and find itself many more fans. <\/p>\n
