Trying to publish a novel

Hello again, blogosphere! Long time...

This post is not about Rwanda, or religion. It's about wRiting, and today I need your help.

I'm trying to get my first novel published in a contest hosted by New Wrinkle Publishing, which ends tonight at midnight, Pacific Standard Time; that means you have about 3 more hours to vote for my novel to be professionally edited, illustrated, published and set to an original soundtrack. What an opportunity, am I right?

Now, the winner of the contest won't necessarily have the most votes, since the publishers judge based on the merit of the story synopsis as they perceive it.

"We’ll consider every entry for the grand prize, regardless of votes … but the more votes you get, the more visible you’ll be. Plus, there’s an awesome secondary prize, specifically for the person who gets the most votes!"

The secondary prize honestly doesn't compare to publication of one's novel (a book, a t-shirt, a mug and an Amazon fire tablet), but the point is visibility.

My book (under my pen name, Cate Slader) is titled The Blame Game. I currently have 103 votes and need to break 131 to get into the top 10 (that would also put me at the top of the YA Drama genre).

So without further ado, here's the link to vote! All you have to do is click the heart next to the number of votes for each entry.

Thanks in advance; I'll keep you posted on the results!
