Judging by the dozen entries I had for the 1st& Ten, the contest is bound to be a huge success. We had some very talented entries. In fact, I scored two perfect. I can’t wait to for the author’s names to be revealed so I can rush out and buy the books.
The contest not only helps the writer, but it forces us to read outside our comfort zone. I’m not likely to pick up a thriller/suspense, but I thoroughly enjoyed the one I judged. Maybe next time I’m browsing for a book, I’ll wander over to that section.
Even the so-so and not-so-good entries were worth reading, especially if our critique helps the author.
I can’t wait to see the finalists. Next year, First & Ten should be even bigger and exciting!
