Unveiling Our Contest Judges, Part 3
Sharp Pens is proud to reveal our third and final contest judge...
Nadine Brandes learned to write her alphabet with a fountain pen. In Kindergarten. Cool, huh? Maybe that's what started her love for writing. She started journaling at age nine and thus began her habit of communicating via pen and paper more than spoken words. She never decided to become a writer. Her brain simply classified it as a necessity to life. Now she is a stay-at-home author, currently working on her next book.
Nadine's Out of Time trilogy has been published by Enclave Publishing. The final book in the series, A Time to Rise, was released on October 14th.
Advice from Nadine:
"Keep writing, even when you hate your story...and commit it to God every single time you sit down to write."
Well, that's the end of our big reveal.
Three wonderful authors, Jan Cline, JoEllen Claypool, and Nadine Brandes, are looking forward to reading your contest entry. Each of them understands what it's like to be a "novelist in training". They understand the joys, the challenges, and the fears that go along with this amazing adventure, and they are eager to encourage you on your writing journey.
Give them the chance to do just that by submitting the first four pages of your novel into our contest, "Hooked". Not only will you receive professional feedback from our judges, you also have a chance to win some great prizes!
