  • ISBN
  • Formatting
  • Editing
  • Webpage

And be sure to check out our Writing Contest, which will award a Basic Publishing Package to an author. Deadline to submit 1-2 of your best chapters is February 28, 2013.

Writing Contest Update

Okay, we think you’ll bear with us as we revise the writing contest deadlines.

Since writers are deadline driven, you’re probably waiting for the deadline to enter anyway. 😉 And since no entries have been submitted yet, we still have time to adjust and publish the new deadline dates (to give more time).

Rather than run the student and adult contest concurrently, we’re adjusting the deadline a bit! This will give us plenty of time to review the entries and select the finalists.

Student Contest: deadline to enter January 31, 2013, proposal due for finalists March 31, 2013.

Regular Writing Contest: deadline to enter February 28, 2013; proposal due for finalists April 30, 2013.

Oh, and we think you’ll really like this! You do not have to submit a final manuscript to be considered for the grand prize. Since Injoy, Inc. specializes in helping authors achieve their writing goals we’ll help finalists create a manageable timeline to complete their manuscript, as part of the prize! At Injoy, Inc. we know how to help you set realistic goals for completing your manuscript! If you have ability and talent, and a good idea, and you are the grand prize winner, then we will work with you to set up a timeline for your  manuscript submission, and we’ll help you along the way by encouraging you and assisting you with tools to help you in completing your manuscript.

To enter the contest, just submit a sample of your work here. Submit either 1-2 of your best chapters or 1500-3000 words of writing that you’ll include in your book, and if you are selected as a finalist, we’ll help you put together a more detailed proposal that will show us what your finished book will look like. If you are selected as the grand prize winner of a publishing package, we will encourage you to finish your manuscript and publish your book!

Writing A Book Proposal

A book proposal contains several elements:

  • Summary of what your book is about, 1-2 paragraphs describing your book
  • Genre: what section of a book store would contain your book?
  • Audience: who do you see reading your book?
  • About the Author: 200-500 words about you
  • Platform: who will be purchasing your book, and why, and how will you let people know about your book?
  • Books with a similar audience or style
  • Expanded Table of Contents for non-fiction books
  • Introduction for non-fiction books
  • Sample chapters

Submitting a book proposal to a publisher is the first step to having your book accepted for publishing. The publisher reviews the information in the proposal, and if the book looks like a good fit, you may be invited to submit your full manuscript for consideration.

A good way to get your proposal reviewed by Injoy, Inc. is to participate in a writing contest; finalists’ proposals are reviewed as part of the contest. To receive up-to-date information about current contests, be sure to click here and like the Injoy, Inc. Facebook page.

Using Pinterest For Your WIP

With so many online tech tools for writers to choose from, here’s one that is just plain fun!

Pinterest is an online bulletin board that allows you to capture and organize pictures and links to websites.

[quote]It’s basically a graphical idea file![/quote]

You might already use Pinterest to track your favorite recipes and home decorating ideas, but have you ever considered using it to organize your ideas for your writing projects?

I’ve just begun to use Pinterest, and you can go follow me at Shari Popejoy to see how I have begun to collect character, setting, and cover design ideas.

If you’d like to learn more about how to use Pinterest to help you organize your creative writing projects, sign up for a FREE online writing workshop. Our graphic designer and savvy Pinterest user, Laurel will show you how to use Pinterest to make your characters and setting come alive right before your eyes, both for your own creativity, and to help in the design process.

Go here and like Injoy’s Facebook page, and we’ll post the date and details about the FREE online writing workshop coming up in December. Or sign up for the next issue of our FREE newsletter for details about the online writing workshop, writing contest, and more.
