The Query Letter Blurb Contest
NO ENTRY FEE. Deadline September 15, 2020. This writing contest is all about book blurbs. The twist? We want blurbs about completely made-up, nonexistent books. Get creative! Write and submit a back-cover blurb of 100 words or fewer that sets the stage for a novel, establishes the characters, and raises the stakes in a way that makes readers want to find out more. We will award one prize of $500 for the best blurb. The submitted blurbs will be judged by our team of query letter writers based on how effectively they hook readers, taking into account the writing style and the overall impression. Submissions must be 100 words or fewer.
NOTE FROM HOPE: In applying, you are required to click this box on the entry form: "I grant QueryLetter.com a perpetual, royalty-free, transferable license to publish my blurb in any format."
