After The Love Boat Bachelor: For Readers and Writers
It has been a fun ride watching from the inside of Write Integrity Press how readers have embraced our collaborative novels. Remember, before I ever signed for the Adirondack Surrender Romance Series or The Love Boat Bachelor, I was reading A Dozen Apologies, a Ruby Christmas and The Christmas Tree Treasure Hunt.
I’ve received great feedback from readers who enjoyed trying to guess who Brent ended with in The Love Boat Bachelor and asking what happens next. I loved receiving updates from Tracy Ruckman as we learned the book was making Amazon Kindle bestseller lists around the world.
Well, I have an update. I also have an invitation for writers to be a part of it.
This announcement first appeared on the Write Integrity Press site.
We’re inviting writers to participate in our next collaborative novel, the sequel to The Love Boat Bachelor. This new book will release on Kindle June 15, then in December, we’ll release all three stories – A Dozen Apologies, The Love Boat Bachelor, and the new book in one print volume in both print and digital formats.
As we did with A Dozen Apologies, we’re offering the opportunity for writers to submit chapters for the novella, based on the story synopsis and first chapter that we’ll provide by e-mail upon request.
To be considered, you’ll write two chapters of 2,500 to 3,500 words each in the specified character’s third-person, deep POV. This story will be much like The Love Boat Bachelor and its predecessor, A Dozen Apologies in that the readers will get to vote for the hero they think will be the best man for our heroine. There will be nine or ten authors writing heroine chapters, along with a first chapter written by the creator of the heroine and the final chapter written by the author who creates the winning hero.
There are eight WIP authors writing chapters. We will select one – and maybe two – contestants to participate in the final project. The winning contestant(s) will be offered the same contract as the other participating authors.
The deadline to submit chapters is April 15, 2015.
If you wish to enter, please send an e-mail with the subject line SEQUEL INFORMATION, and we’ll send you the information by March 1. Send your e-mail to editor[at]writeintegrity[dot]com.
