Naturally, we are suspicious of a contest that doesn’t want money from us. Yet, we’ve heard nothing but good things about the Brava Novella Contest. Author Lori Foster sponsor the contest (though she’s getting a little help from her friends this year) and sends finalists to Kensington editor Kate Duffy. Previous finalist have been offered contracts. Not bad for three pages work. Yeah, you have to think sexy — but you can do that, right? Deadline for entry is August 15, 2004. See the website for rules and other information.
