Announcing the Winners of the One Sentence Pitch Competition

Congratulations to the winners of this week’s writing contest! They are listed below.

But first, a bit about our contest series.

Every week we are going to have a contest on our Facebook Page. The contests will change from week to week but the winners will always be published in the magazine. The contest winner and the runners up are chosen by a voting system, and then the editors of Authors Publish will select several additional entries from the rest to be the Editor’s Choice winners.

Below are all the winners of this week’s contest, their challenge was pitch their book using only one sentence.

The Details of The Next Contest:

The next contest will begin on Saturday March 15th at 9am PST. It will be posted on our Facebook page.

The goal of the next contest is to write the best six word memoir that you can. This was the first contest we ever held and it yielded such exciting results we want to do it again.

If you won last time or were an Editor’s choice winner or a runner up, you can enter again, but it has to be a completely different six word memoir.
