Couldn't figure out how to modify my topic header, so I've started a new thread so people who might want to enter the Chicken House contest now can! (Mods, can you merge the two topics? Thank you please thank you.)

Here are some of the details. Chicken House is such a great publisher (they do Cornelia Funke's books in the UK, for eg). I'd kill to be published by them and they're closed to unsolicited subs too so this is a way to get an editor to see your stuff. Plus the advance for the winner is £10,000 (around $15,000US). Pretty decent?!

Thank you, F'zilla!
I don't have time to check now, but will.
Thinking out loud here about rhymers and if they are discouraged, you know, for translation purposes. I'll look when I have time.

C.K.:
Thanks for letting us know, Franzilla. This is good news! Do you happen to know if more than one manuscript can be entered?

Franzilla:
I'm not sure. I don't remember reading anything about limits on how many subs you make but you could always email them. They were very quick to respond to my email about overseas people entering.

Good luck if you do enter! I'd love it if a BBer won.
