Writers One Flight Up – Summer Contest Winners

The WOFU summer contest asked writers to submit the first 150 words of their novel: completed, in-progress or maybe, still “in their minds.”  The purpose of the first 150 words of your novel is to immediately grab the reader’s attention, propel the reader further into your novel and transform the reader into a consumer – you want the reader to make a purchase – your book! 

WOFU selected three winners for this contest.  Winners will be published in the summer issue (July) of Pulse the Magazine, due on the streets the first week in July.

And the winners are …

Lisa L. Rast: For her intro to her novel, “Siren Song.”  Sharon L. Dwyer: For her novel introduction, “Special Delivery.”  John White: For his introduction to “Prayer Offerings.”
