Competition: Girl Heart Boy - Become a published author

Here's your chance to become a published author! Penguin are running a fantastic competition for all you writers out there and yes, you could actually get your work published.

All you have to do is use the video above as inspiration to write a deleted scene from Ali Cronin’s Girl Heart Boy (which you can now buy for 49p on the Apple iBookstore!).

Was your scene deleted because it was too dark? Too steamy? Because One Direction or Justin Bieber took it over? Because something wickedly surprising happened?

That is up to you, but once you’ve got your idea it is time to start writing!

Enter the competition here on the Movellas website.

How to win: A shortlist will be decided on by likes, comments, favourites and quality. So once you submit your entry, share it with the world – gather all the support from your friends, family, on Twitter and Facebook and get them to do the same for you!

The prize: Lunch with the editor of Girl Heart Boy for a critique of the writing and chat through the publishing process and… to have your deleted scene published as an ebook by Penguin!

10 runners-up will also receive signed copies of the first two books in the series.

Remember: you must enter the competition on the Movellas website

Closing date: 23rd November 2012

Book news: Girl Heart Boy series - Ali Cronin

Ali Cronin's new series Girl Heart Boy is described as 'the hottest, sexiest, teen romance series coming this summer'. The first in the series 'No Such Thing As Forever' which is due to be published on the 2nd August 2012 by Penguin Razorbill sounds exactly like my kind of book. If you can't wait that long then you can get your hands on the e-book which is out now.

Meet four girls, three boys, all turning 18 and get set to follow their eventful final year at school. Cass is known as Ms. Monogamy, Ashley is a player, Donna is a party girl. But what about Sarah? Her friends tease her for being uptight, but she's waiting for The One. Now she's found him, but is he forever - or is Sarah just his summer fling?

You can also keep up-to-date with Sarah's weekly video blogs on Youtube where she explores teen love and sex issues. Here's the first vlog from Sarah.
