What are you doing this summer?

You're polishing your manuscript for the 2010 GATEWAY TO THE BEST contest,
of course!

The GRAND PRIZE is $100!

Two of last year's entries went on to final in the Golden Heart!

Here's what Golden Heart Historical finalist Jacqui Nelson had to say about
her experience with the Gateway:

The Gateway to the Best was my first contest and I loved the entire
experience! In fact it has set the bar for all the contests I've since
entered. The feedback was incredibly helpful but also gracefully given. The
contest coordinator answered my questions quickly and cheerfully. And the
Final Rankings Spreadsheet (that anonymously listed what each contestant in
my category scored) was the icing on the cake!

Jacqui Nelson, Between Heaven and Hell

Here's what Golden Heart finalist Jennifer Jakes had to say:

The Gateway to the Best gave me invaluable feedback - and the confidence to
enter the Golden Heart contest! The Gateway is one contest you don't want to
skip.

Jennifer Jakes, Rafe's Redemption

Here's what a Gateway finalist had to say:

" . . .Gateway to the Best helped me land an agent."

Janet Periat, Cinderolda

The contest formally opens August 2 and closes September 10.

We offer a terrific line up of final judges. And *NEW* we've added a YA
category!

Our other categories are: Historical, Paranormal, Single Title, Contemporary
Series, and Romantic Suspense.

Gateway to the Best is sponsored by Missouri Romance Writers. Check out all
the rules, judges and details at: www.morwa.org (http://www.morwa.org/)
