In honor of our April Book of the Month, The Program by Suzanne Young, we’re kicking off a cool new writing contest!
Inspired by The Program –in which suicidal teens have their memories erased as a “cure” — we want you to imagine returning to your life after having your memories removed.
The Contest:
Imagine your memories have been stolen from you. Write 250-500 words about what your life is like after losing your memories. What’s it like day-to-day? Meeting people you may or may not already know? Figuring out who you are?
Submit your entry using the Novel Novice + The Program Contest Entry Form. Be sure to use proper grammar and spelling.
The Prize:
One winner will receive a finished copy of The Program by Suzanne Young.
The Rules:
- One entry per person
- Use the entry form
- U.S. only
- Use proper grammar & spelling
The Deadline:
All entries are due by midnight (PT) on Tuesday, April 30th.
Questions? Leave ’em in the comments & we’ll reply.
