A blog of writing news, tips, and inspiration from Fat Plum

Beth is Breaking Through!

Fat Plum friend Beth Polen has made it to the semi-finals in the Amazon.com Breakthrough Novel Award contest! Her young adult novel, Wish, is a terrific story of a boy uncovering his purpose in life. We at Fat Plum had the pleasure of reading much of Wish during our various Book Boot Camps where Beth workshopped the manuscript, so we are thrilled and excited at this news.

You can read an excerpt of Wish on the site and submit a review of it and any other excerpts you read. The reviews you write will contribute to the decision of which books reach the finals on March 3rd. The winning novelist will receive a publishing contract with Penguin.

Congrats to Beth on making the cut — we believe in Wish and think it will go far!
