I'm going to enter my new novel, "Weep." I just published it but I still hold all the rights. I had an offer from a small publisher, but it was a terrible contract, so I just did it myself. So far, so good except that it's impossible to get press or reviews when you self-publish. This contest looks like a good opportunity.
