Happy Monday! Today marks the beginning of the Gather.com First Chapters Romance contest. One of my best friends and a massively talented writer is in the contest, Gina R., and I've seen one other familiar face so far. Please vote for Gina's entry, My Fantasy Spy, by September 18th!
All you have to do is sign into www.gather.com
(join if you need to) and give her entry a 10. That's it!

Reading and voting on entrants' first chapters officially begins on
August 27. At the end of the Round 1 voting period, 25 writers will
advance to the next round of the competition – 15 based on the
most "10" ratings from Gather members, and 10 selected by the
Gather
Editorial Team. Votes cast before August 27 or after September 18
will not be considered. The 25 semifinalists will be announced on
September 24.
Round 2: September 24 – October 8, 2007
The 25 remaining novelists will post their second chapters in the
First Chapters Romance Group, where the Gather community and
Editorial Team will narrow the pool down to five finalists. The five
finalists will be announced on October 11.
