After many weeks — and many hundreds of votes — today is the day to announce the results of the First Page Cage Match: Readers’ Choice Division!
And the winner is …
C U by Marie Powell!
Congratulations to Marie! Our readers were clearly captivated by this enticing first page. The story opens in a local park, but everything that was once familiar is suddenly foreign. In case you missed it, read the exciting first page here.
Thank you to all submitting authors for sharing your words and supporting Pulp Literature!
And thank you, dear readers, for joining the fun and weighing in with your votes!
And now it’s our turn!
The Pulp Lit editors selected the eight entries for the First Page Cage Match that enticed us enough to want to read more. These eight quarter-finalist authors then sent along the first ten pages (2500 words) of their manuscripts.
You can check out the quarterfinalists and our reflections on their first pages here.
Stay tuned to the Pulp Lit blog to discover which of these advanced to the semifinals, announced March 1st!
