THE GIRL IN THE PICTURE

Here's what you need to know:

Your story can be fantasy, romance, history, horror, or whatever you like.

The closing date to receive entries is MONDAY 28 NOVEMBER

Stories must be your own work and can be emailed to me at sophiaben at me dot com or sent to me by post, c/o The Chicken House, 2 Palmer Street, Frome, Somerset, BA11 1DS, UK. Don't forget to allow time for it to arrive.

Book cover illustrations can be posted to me, as above, or if you want to keep your original you can take a picture, or do a scan, and email that to me instead.

If you're trying a book trailer, you'll need to post it on YouTube (if you're allowed by a parent) and send me the link. It only needs to be about a minute long. Check out eg Maggie Stiefvater's trailers, or Candy Gourlay's, if you want ideas.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TELL ME YOUR NAME, CONTACT ADDRESS (EMAIL WILL DO) AND AGE.

Prizes are books, books, books! (Including my new one, that isn't available yet.) Signed and ready for Christmas. Find out all about them by clicking HERE.
