Saga writing competition

Arrow Books and ASDA have announced a major national competition to find the next big saga author – a writer who combines superb storytelling, unforgettable characters and a vivid sense of time and place.

The competition will be launched on 4th July 2005 and Rosie Harris’s new novel At Sixes and Sevens will contain details of the competition. At Sixes and Sevens will have featured space in store and be on sale exclusively with ASDA for 2 weeks prior to the official 21st July publication date.

Arrow and ASDA are inviting submissions of 4000 words or roughly 2 chapters, along with a synopsis for the rest of the book and ideas for other novels. The closing date is December 2005 and submissions will be judged by a panel including the editorial team at Arrow, author Rosie Harris and Toby Bourne of ASDA. The winner will be announced in January 2006 and the book will then be published in 2007 by Arrow and available in ASDA stores nationwide. ASDA have committed to support with major space in-store and a feature in ASDA magazine.
