I AM looking for potential science fiction fantasy writers who may live in the local area. We are running a contest called L Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future Contest to give new SF writers the chance to make it into the big time .
The contest was started in America in 1984 by top SF writer L Ron Hubbard, author of the best selling Battlefield Earth and Mission Earth series, who wanted to encourage new writing talent.
Entrants have to submit a short story of up to 10,000 words or a tale of short novel length less than 17,000 words.
These entries are judged by a panel of top judges.
Each quarter there are cash prizes of £640, £480 and £320 for first, second and third place winners and an annual grand prize of £2,500. All of the 12 yearly winners also get published in an anthology entitled L Ron Hubbard Presents -- Writers of the Future which is distributed internationally.
If anyone would like to have a go at becoming a top science fiction, fantasy or horror author, send a copy of this article, stating the name and date of the newspaper and a stamped, addressed envelope for a free entry form to: L Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future Contest, PO Box 218, East Grinstead, West Sussex RH19 4GH.
