More 3DNC success stories
Have you found a home for a manuscript that was born during the 3-Day Novel Contest? Tell us about it!
The Dominion, by Gayleen Froese of Edmonton, placed during the 2007 3DNC and won 1st Prize during that year’s 3-Day Novel Contest reality TV series. This excellent fantasy novel has been picked up for publication by Candlemark & Gleam.
Alice Hearts Welsh Zombies has finally been released by The Workhorsery. The book, by Victoria Dunn of Ottawa, is a nutty undead military romp that won (in its first-draft form) 3rd Place in the 2009 3DNC. See a video preview at the Workhorsery website!
The rise of e-publishing has helped many 3-Day veterans release their novels as ebooks, too. Check out a few here: Rebels of the 512 by Laura Roberts (2011 participant), The Package: Nove’s Curse by Lisa Naraine (2008), Melissa’s Daughters
by Terry Leeder (2011), Dream Her Back by Brady Russell (2003), and Depth of Deception: A Titanic Murder Mystery by Alexander Gallant (2006).
