HELP THE LOST KINGDOM WIN! THE LOST KINGDOM, a novel written by Nikki Bennett and illustrated by Steve, has a fantastic chance of making the finals in the Bookhabit.com competition for unpublished novels. But we need everybody'e help! Even if you've already downloaded and left comments, please read below: The way the qualifications to get into the finals works is: the top ten highest ranked books get in. The way they determine the ranking is by people getting on, and then ranking the books in the competition by which one they like the best. (so even if you've gotten on and rated the book, get on again and RANK them! This is what counts for the next round.) THis doesn't mean you have to read all the books in the competition. If you'd like to read some of the others you can, but as long as you rank THE LOST KINGDOM as one of your choices (hopefully the first!), it will be entered. In order to rank, however, you have to create an account with Bookhabit. THey have sworn up and down that they won't spam anybody (we've had an account for three months now and have never gotten any spam mail from them) but we know some people are leery about signing up for things. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, that's ok, but if you can help us out, we'd really appreciate it too! The prize for this competition is $5000, but more importantly, it is a good stepping stone to getting this manuscript noticed by an agent. If the novel gets into the top ten, it will be reviewed, along with the other top ten novels, by a judging panel, and they will pick the winning book. So if you can, PLEASE help us out!! (we're not to proud to beg!) And thanks to everybody in the last round that downloaded the first chapter (and some people downloaded the entire book--thank you mucho!) and especially those that left comments. If all you guys could get on again and rank the book, we'd be much obliged.
1. Go to www.bookhabit.com, log in, then click on the "Competition Leaderboard" (it's on the right hand side of the page) 2. Find THE LOST KINGDOM on the list (hopefully it'll soon be close to the top!) Click on the name, it'll take you to my book's main page. 3. Under the large gold "Round 1" emblem on the right, you'll see a little blurb that says "rank the book in the competition here." Click on this link, and it will give you a listing of all the books in the competition. You can rank the books by clicking on the arrows next to all the books you've read (it's fairly self explanatory once you get to this point.) That's all you have to do!! And if you want to read the second chapter, just click on the "Download the First Chapter" button. It just says first chapter, but both chapters are there. If you have any qeustions, e-mail nikki at: roccapiafarm@yahoo.com, and thanks again in advance! And please pass this on to anyone you think would be interested in helping us out!
