Tomorrow’s the big day, peeps…the deadline for the MBT Frasier Contest!

The Frasier Contest is MBT’s annual contest for unpublished writers. Entry is simple – the first 1,500 words of your novel and a 500-word synopsis. Just click here to submit your piece.

Okay, so maybe you’ve heard us talking about the Frasier Contest for the past couple months. Maybe you’re waffling, not sure whether or not you should enter. Would you like my advice? (I’m going to give it regardless, sooo…)

Do it! Enter!

Here’s the deal: Whether you’re a complete newbie or you’ve already got a couple stories under your belt or even if you’ve had a manuscript request from agents and editors and just haven’t nabbed that contract yet…this contest is for you. The whole goal of the Frasier is to move you closer to publication.

The perks are plenty:

• The opportunity to put to test what you’ve learned through MBT? Check.
• Feedback from trained book therapists and industry experts? Check.
• The prize possibility – a free MBT retreat! Check.

This year’s final round judging panel is superb: Karen Ball, literary agent with the Steve Laube Agency; Stephanie Broene, acquisitions editor with Tyndale House Publishing; and of course, award-winning author Susan May Warren. Finalists will be announced in June and the winner recognized at the 2012 MBT Pizza Party/Frasier Awards during the annual ACFW Conference in September.

So what are you waiting for? You’ve got ‘til 11:50 PST on Saturday, March 31, to enter. Polish that scene. Submit your entry.

And then give yourself a hearty pat on the back.

That is, if you’re, um, flexible that way.
