Att::Pond Writers from Australia...

[Post New]by firestone1960 on Feb 13, 09 9:21 AM
I get a newsletter from James Patterson website...just got this one and thought some of you may be interested.....


Do you love thrillers? Are you an aspiring writer? Borders is offering you the chance to join Australia's biggest selling crime author, James Patterson in this world-first online chain story that takes place over 30 days. James Patterson will write the first and last chapters in this 30 chapter thriller and we are looking for 28 writers to complete the rest. Each of the winning 28 authors will receive a copy of the finished book, with one lucky author to receive a chance of a lifetime one-on-one master class in the form of a telephone call with James Patterson himself.






Edited to say...pm me for the url

I'm gonna go play a game...if anyfish wants the url, you can just say here...and I will check here later and pm you.

also, I will bump this later this evening...so don't worry about fishies not seeing it.

LOL!! My husband asked if it had to be a resident or could he just fly me there until the chapter was done!!!

I think this is an AMAZING opportunity for Ozzies to get well represented in fiction!! I encourage all of my literary Ozzites to buckle down and get to writing!!!

Maybe on the unknown URL it specifies that you must be Australian ... but you are right I was thinking the same thing ... so I don't see why any of our esteemed writers can't give it a shot. Good Luck if you do!

bumping in hopes of someone being interested



come on all you Aussie fishies - you know, even if you don't write - perhaps you know someone that does who would enjoy the chance to get in on this....imagine...collaborating with James Patterson...who wouldn't want to do that...personally I would jump at the chance to do something like this.

As I think James, himself hasn't written his last 8 books, what is new? Loved his first ten, but the ghost writers didn't do the legacy justice. Sorry to say I'm through with the hype.....

A very sad little red fish.

Does Australia need a french quarter. I could move Quebec there with a little help from my pond friends?
