Here’s what’s up: The Pulp Lit editors selected the eight First Page Cage Match entries 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. And the top four who piqued our interest have been invited to send along their first thirty pages (7500 words).

We gave you, our keen-eyed readers, a chance to join the fun and vote for your favourite first pages.

The semi-finalist round of the Readers’ Choice division is complete. And now the two winners are going page to page. Read their wonderful words here. Then cast your vote in our Readers’ Choice poll.

Let the voting begin!
