New book contest to inspire careers

Dec. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Gold Canyon, Arizona – Many published authors and illustrators, whether novice or seasoned, look for ways to draw attention to their work. Book contests are a proven way to tell the world that an author illustrator has taken the time and has made the effort to submit their work to scrutiny. An award seal on a book opens doors to interviews and press coverage and lends additional credibility to writing and artistic careers.

Millennium Star Publishing is happy to announce the Millennium Star Book Awards. Most of Millennium’s authors are business professionals who use published articles and books as a way to enhance their current successful businesses. Millennium Star Publishing assists with the process and in many instances their staff does the actual writing (ghostwrites) based on interviews and conversations. This past year, many of Millennium’s newly published authors requested that the publishing company host a book contest with the purpose to help draw attention to first time authors as well as young writers and illustrators.  While the contest was born with newer authors in mind - it is open to writers around the world and of all stature.

Receiving the Millennium Star Book Award does more than make one feel good. The publishing company has quite an inimitable and valuable prize to offer - designed to excite, enhance and inspire any creative calling. The grand prize winner will receive the Superstition Mountain Muse Package. This includes 5 days and 4 nights at “The Dreamweaver” - Millennium House Arizona - a private Artists' & Writers' Retreat & Desert Guest House, located on 25 acres at the base of the Superstition Mountain – Tonto National Forest in Arizona . The purpose of the prize is to allow the winner several days of uninterrupted inspiration and writing time – using the Superstitions as a muse. Full of natural Sonoran desert beauty, history and mystery, the mountain backdrop provides mental refreshment and a renewed outlook for all who stay here.
