Award-winning, bestselling author, Susan Wingate just learned this morning that her novelette, CAMOUFLAGE, placed as finalist in the 2009 Textnovel.com Writing Contest. "Camouflage" is one of ten stories that has received this acclaim.

The Textnovel.com writing competition is an annual international contest. There are literally thousands of writers and thousands of stories that vie for a winning spot in this writing contest.

Textnovel.com is one of a very few innovative and cutting-edge sites where writers potentially can receive a $1,000 Grand Prize, a publishing contract and representation by a literary agent. It's a very sought-after-award with stiff talent in its running.

When asked what achieving this spot means to Wingate, she said, "It's everything! I mean this is a competition that has everything going for it, a monetary award, a book contract and an agent dangling in front of each writer. It's THE carrot. The writing found in this competition is remarkable. The stories are tight and well-paced with juicy plots and wonderful characters. Like I said, this contest has everything going for it."

Wingate's novel, "Bobby's Diner" received earlier acclaim this year when it placed as a finalist in the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. After that, she jumped into writing her 4th novel, "Camouflage." Last week Wingate received an offer to write the sequel to "Bobby's Diner" which will be released in the spring of 2010.

With a bright future ahead of her, it looks like Wingate will continue to write top-drawer fiction.
