Writing contest for 2009 Book Expo
« on: April 28, 2009, 10:06:44 PM »
Write the 1st line of an unwritten sequel of any book.  Looks like fun.  There's a twitter thread and all.  They will multi-media publish the winners in a book during the 2009 Book Expo.  Sponsored by Perseus Books Group.

From their website:  www.bookthesequel.com

"What is it? It’s a book that asks the world to write the first sentence for a yet-to-be-written sequel to any book ever published.

Perseus Books Group is spearheading a collaborative effort to publish—during the span of the 2009 Book Expo—a book that highlights the new “possibles” in our business.

A book that will be created … collaboratively. A book that will be published into as many formats as possible in about 48 hours.

The publishers, editors, publicists, marketing partners, printers, technology and distribution partners will all help to generate this book by 4PM, Saturday, May 30."
