Comment on Writing Competitions- The Judging Process by Nate Worrell

Nate Worrell — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:35:39 +0000

Thanks for detailing the judging process, it helps adds some transparency to the contest. I’m sure you get plenty of emails from impatient contestants.

It could be a lot of work, but really useful if periodic updates were given for the various contests that have expired. I.e
-Received and validating entry fees
-In # round of screening

Some qualitative statements about volume would also help. I’m just guessing here
Few entries (<50)
Average entries (50-100)
Many entries (100+)

Comment on Revive by Thomas James Brown

Thomas James Brown — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 01:42:10 +0000

‘Whereas, typically, zombie novels seem to focus on blood, gore and violence, Revive’s focus is firmly fixed on its sharply drawn array of unusual characters which are developed fully as the novel progresses. Even the coffee shop itself has a breathing and ominous presence – a bitter history, all of its own. From the very outset, you know something is very, very wrong at Revive [...] His descriptions are superb and make the horrifying climax of this book so disturbing. It even has a ‘nice’ little twist at the end that will leave fans – and this book will have fans – gasping for more!’

The first review for the book is in – read it at Dark River Press: http://www.darkriverpress.com/revive-by-thomas-james-brown.html
