Dear writer,

Thank you for your interest in the 2006 Scribe and Quill New Voice in Literature Award. The goal of this award is to find and acknowledge quality writing that has been overlooked by agents and the larger publishers. There is more to this contest than simple recognition.  One talented pen will receive a publishing contract with Red Engine Press. This competition will be limited to the first two hundred applicants. Submissions will open on June 1st during the Book Expo of America. The winner will be announced during BEA 2006. ~ Beverly Walton-Porter
