The Author

April 27, 2012

Dear New Show Creator,
As you know there seem to be a plethora of reality shows for anything the human mind can imagine. Not yet have I seen one for those with the passion of writing. THE AUTHOR would fill that void. Though I don’t have this idea completely fleshed out, here’s what I do have.
 The five person judging panel would consist of well-known authors, publishers, and actor writers. The grand prize would be the contestants’ work being produced by a major publishing house.  This reality show would be for first-time writers only. They would be required to submit a maximum 200 page fiction or non-fiction manuscript in a format approved by your organization.
Elimination rounds for this hour long show could include the most creative title; most compelling thirty second vocal summary of the book by the author; the most interesting first chapter read by the judges that would invoke them to purchase this book if it were in bookstores today; or the most improved work after a professional editing. That’s all I have right now. I know this opportunity could be a dream come true for the lucky individual deemed the winner.
Sincerely,
Robert Kinker (published)
