Show off your writing talents

Get your writing samples ready! There will be a special section on the forums during this years PROMO DAY where you can post a sample of your writing. As the event will be attended by publishers, editors and representatives from content websites, this is your chance to show off your talents and hopefully find some new writing assignments. It could also mean more sales for your books, as the sample could be a sneak peak from your latest release. It's up to you.

As with all material posted to the site, all genres are welcome but should bear in mind that the event is open to everyone and therefore out of respect, please keep them 'clean'.

The length, again, is up to you. I suggest not making the sample too long however as you will need to post it to the forum and with everything going on during the day people may not have hours to concentrate on your sample alone.

As the idea is to create interest in your work please remember to post a byline or weblink so people can contact you.
Samples can only be posted during the event on Saturday 15th May. Any posts to the forums prior to the event will be deleted.

By preparing your sample in advance you can make sure you put your best foot, or in this case words, forward.

Samples Page - Have you submitted yours yet?

If you would like to submit a sample of your writing (could be from one of your books or an article you've written) please send it to promoday@ymail.com with 'sample' in the subject line. Samples should be in word or PDF format. Please remember to include a copyright page.

Samples will be posted to the site during the first week of May 2009. This is to allow enough time for everyone to read them and therefore be able to give constructive feedback to the writers.

If you work as a freelance writer this is a great opportunity to show off your talent and maybe capture the interest of a magazine editor.

If it's a sample from your book this is a great opportunity to get readers attention and hook them on your story (leading to more book sales :)) or in the case of unpublished pieces, capture the interest of publisher and maybe get signed for that book deal...

Make sure you add a copyright page to your file. Although I would hope that everyone taking part in PROMO DAY is an honest individual, it's better safe than sorry ;)
