Today marks the end of our September Book of the Month feature on Fateful by Claudia Gray — but before we bid fareful to this gorgeous paranormal/historical fiction romance, we take a look back at the highlights:
Fateful-inspired Titanic Writing Contest
Write a short story (or part of a short story) that takes place on the Titanic. Be sure to pay attention to historic details, and maybe do a bit of research before you start writing. Feel free to use your imagination & be creative. In Fateful, Claudia Gray combines the Titanic story with werewolves — and we want you to feel free to mix up your genres, as well. (But you don’t have to — writing a classic historical fiction story is totally fine, too!)
Your stories may be as long as you’d like, but for the purposes of this contest, please ONLY submit between 250-500 words. It can be an excerpt or part of the beginning, but we can’t read entries longer than 500 words.
Submit your writing via the Fateful Novel Novice Writing Contest Entry Form & get all the rules & details here first before you submit!
The contest deadline is TONIGHT, September 30th, by midnight (PT).
