Note on Contest Entries
Folks, if you enter any contest I sponsor including the current Echoes of Chandler Contest, PLEASE follow the manuscript format.
As a bare minimum, please put your (real) name and email address in the upper left corner of the first page of your manuscript. Always make it easy for the editor to contact you.
NOTE: Thus far, I’ve received only four entries in this contest. Submissions close on August 2. Just sayin’.
Your Morning Serial
Over at Your Morning Serial, the second novel in my 10-volume Journey Home SF saga just wrapped. You can read that installment here.
If you would like to continue your journey on The Ark uninterrupted, you may purchase the entire saga for 25% off (so a little over $26) at my StoneThread Publishing discount store.
At checkout, enter coupon code B6KXEG249V. Offer valid through August 10, 2025.
IMPORTANT
If you’d like to read more serialized novels, please leave a comment or email me directly at harveystanbrough@gmail.com to let me know what genre you would like to see next (mystery or western).
If I don’t get enough responses, this experiment will come to an end.
Talk with you again soon.
Of Interest
