How? What would be the most fair? I decided to go with the general public voting. Okay, I can hear a number of people saying how unfair that is. <em> <\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s like a popularity contest, the person with the most friends wins.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Those sock puppets are going to skew the voting.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;How will people even know my entry is in there if it&#8217;s relegated the last page?&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The sock poppet concern is a very valid one and I will keep my eyes peeled for any electronic shenanigans with the voting. It&#8217;s one vote per household. I can&#8217;t do it any other way, not when the average household that owns a computer has more than one. But as for the other points, the one thing I&#8217;ve learned is that publishing, like most other endeavors, is not fair.<\/p>\n<p>Can anything that is subjective truly be fair? I really don&#8217;t think so. Oh yes, we all hope that brilliance rises to the top but it doesn&#8217;t always because what&#8217;s brilliant to you might not be to me. In other words, if you&#8217;re one of those aspiring writers who has a wide network of friends you can tap to vote for your entry, you WILL do better. It&#8217;s kind of like real world publishing, you can write a great book but if you (or your publisher) doesn&#8217;t promote it no one will know it&#8217;s out there, therefore no one will buy it. So if you want readers to vote on your entry, make sure they know you have it out there to vote on. This means that it won&#8217;t matter if your entry is on the last page, people will know how to get to it&#8211;because you&#8217;ll tell them.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, you&#8217;ll also be able to create a<em> &#8216;hookable&#8217; <\/em>blurb to pique the readers&#8217; interest. That&#8217;s also how it&#8217;s done in the real world. As writers, we want a blurb to hook a reader so completely, they are compelled to buy and read our books.<\/p>\n<p>But just in case, things in the voting process go completely awry and an entry that finals has not only me, but basically everyone scratching their head and crying foul, there will some discretionary judging going on behind the scenes to make sure voters will have 10 (ten) deserved entries to pick from. I mean if someone can&#8217;t string three sentences together, should they really make the finals&#8230;? I think not.\u00a0 So for all those who hate this whole public voting thing, I hope that puts your mind at ease. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4957\" title=\"theiveslikeus\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/theiveslikeus.jpg?resize=108%2C175\" alt=\"\" width=\"108\" height=\"175\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4958\" title=\"scoundrel\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/scoundrel.jpg?resize=108%2C175\" alt=\"\" width=\"108\" height=\"175\" \/>Again, you will receive some prompting on your entry <strong>October 17th<\/strong>, when they are posted on the website. The first is that is should be holiday themed&#8211;which means whichever holiday you celebrate during the holiday season. Leis and Kevan will supply the other prompts, which will come from books they select.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re going to be doing a <strong>Romantic Suspense<\/strong>, you might want to check out <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>THIEVES LIKE US<\/strong><\/span> by <em><strong>Starr Ambrose<\/strong><\/em>.
