Head's-Up: Inkpop Writing Contest & Live Chat

For all of you Melissa Marr fans out there, this week at inkpop.com there is a writing contest to win (along with other HarperTeen books) Darkest Mercy, the fifth and final book in her Wicked Lovely series.

The challenge? "Write a short story or poem that displays good conflict resolution. While the end results might always be fair to all those involved, your writing should seek to bring peace to the troubles at hand."

You can find all of the details about how to enter HERE. The deadline is May 26th.

And inkpop is also hosting a live chat this Wednesday with Josephine Angelini, author of the upcoming Starcrossed. She'll be discussing both her novel (a modern reimagining of Greek mythology) and her journey to being published. The chat is taking place at 5 pm EST on the inkpop forums thread if you'd like to stop on by!

Head's-Up: Live Chat Tomorrow on Inkpop

I thought some of you budding authors out there might be interested to know that inkpop.com is hosting a live chat tomorrow with literary agent Tina Wexler and author Leigh Fallon, who recently signed a contract with HarperCollins for her book The Carrier of the Mark. They're going to be talking all about Leigh's experience in finding an agent and getting a publishing deal and what agents right now are looking for...so if you're interested in getting published and have any burning questions, I'd head over there!

The chat is happening tomorrow, Mar. 2, at 5 pm Eastern Time. For all the details, go here.
