As part of the blog tour for Blue by Lou Aronica, we are proud to present you with this author-sponsored writing contest.  Here's a message from Tracee, the PR specialist at Pump Up Your Book to explain it:


CONTEST!!!


How often do you hear about something that sounds too good to be true? Well, 10 lucky winners will be awarded the opportunity of a lifetime.


New York Times bestselling co-author, novelist, and former Publisher of Avon Books and Berkley Books, Lou Aronica has created a unique and exciting offer to anyone that is going to follow his upcoming book tour with Pump Up Your Book. His extensive experience in the publishing and editing fields has given him insight into an industry that continues to grow and change daily. Once again, that insight has led him to offer a contest that is truly special in so many ways. Lou will be accepting story pitches from followers of his blog tour. These story pitches must be for short stories pertaining to the fantasy world of his novel, Blue. This contest will allow 10 lucky people the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to have their story published in an upcoming companion anthology to Blue. Lou will hand pick the winners, edit their stories, include them in the anthology and give them a pro-rated share of the royalties. How can you pass up an opportunity like this?
