Piatkus Entice writing competition

Piatkus Entice, pioneers of romance digital publishing and the online home of such internationally  famous authors as Sherrilyn Kenyon, Eloisa James and Christine Feehan, have teamed up with the Festival of Romance to offer you a fantastic opportunity!
We’re giving aspiring authors the chance to win an ebook publishing contract with Piatkus Entice. The winning author will receive intensive editorial guidance, publicity and marketing support and a contract with Piatkus Entice for the publication of the novel as an ebook.
We’ll be working with Radio Gorgeous and Cornishware to help spread the word and they’ll even be offering some extra prizes along the way (make sure to check back next week for a fabulous competition).
If you’re ready to take the next step with your writing, this is your chance . . .
