Psst! You wanna be an author?

Anybody who has ever enquired about the possibility of getting a book published will know what a tortuous exercise it can be. The submission, the months of waiting, the rejection letters, sometimes no rejection letters – and all this before even a word has been proof-read, edited, revised, cut, lengthened or altered.

In 1997 an aspiring author reflected on the seemingly endless morass of trying to get a book published and decided there must be an easier way. He formed AuthorHouse which, in the intervening ten years, has grown to become the leading self-publishing company in the world.

Now the recent partnership between AuthorHouse and Borders bookstore looks set to pay dividends for one potentiall author as the two companies are holding a competition for one lucky winner to avail of AuthorHouse’s premium package book publishing service. This prize, worth €2,500, includes the book’s design and publication and it will go on sale at participating stores, including Blanchardstown.

The AuthorHouse team were on hand in Borders this week, offering some general tips for writers keen to get their work in print, as well as discussing the various packages available through AuthorHouse. But do not despair if you missed them.

The competition runs until 18th February and all you have to do to enter is to go into Borders and leave your name and address in the box at the Information desk. Alternatively, if you are a subscriber to Border’s newsletter, you can enter online.
