Cash Prizes for the First Line of Your NaNoWriMo Novel!

Entrants for the 2011 National Novel Writing Month can win a prize for the first line of their novel! Entry into the competition is free and the cash prizes are $100 for 1st place, $50 for 2nd, $25 for 3rd, and a copy of the book "Your Writing Coach" for seven honorable mentions.

So if you are one of the estimated 200,000 people taking part in the worldwide National Novel Writing Month send us your opening line and get the chance to win a cash prize or a copy of the latest book from renowned writing coach, Jurgen Wolff, “Your Writing Coach.”

And remember, there's no entry fee, you just need a send your first line to Jurgen from the website, http://www.NaNoWriMoContest.com

Some of you may be wondering why we are running a first line contest? "Just to encourage writers to get started," says Jurgen. "We don't have any official link with NaNoWriMo but I like to think we have the same spirit of playfulness. And it's going to be fun to read them all."

Good luck from me, writers! *Nora waves*
