Fancy yourself a writer? Think you have what it takes to get noticed… and published? Then you’ll want to read on for the details of a new contest being run by Inkshares and Crypt TV to find the next great horror scribes!
From the Press Release:
Inkshares, a reader-driven book publisher, is pleased to announce that Crypt TV, the video platform backed by filmmaker Eli Roth (Hostel, The Green Inferno, Cabin Fever) and Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions (The Purge, Insidious, and Ouija series), will be launching a collection on Inkshares to discover new talent in the horror genre. This collection will include books published under the Crypt TV name, targeted at the Crypt TV audience and the broader horror community. Authors in the Crypt TV collection will also have opportunities to develop their work into other media, such as movies, TV series, and digital productions.
As part of this launch, Crypt TV is running a contest on Inkshares (click here for the full details) to find the next breakout writers in the horror genre. The top three horror projects on Inkshares as determined by unique reader counts by October 31, 2016, will be published, even if they haven’t hit their pre-order goal. Of those three, Crypt TV will select at least one to be in their collection, receiving Crypt TV branding and promotion.
“What I love most about horror is how it can define certain moments in life — terror has a particular way of cementing memories,” says Inkshares’ CEO Adam Gomolin. “From childhood to adulthood some of my favorite memories were built around indie and mainstream horror — whether TV, film, or literary. The last decade has seen a resurgence in the quality and diversity of the horror genre. I’m thrilled that the stories we bubble up in this collaboration could have a similar impact on the lives of folks of all ages today.”
Jack Davis, founder and CEO of Crypt TV, said: “Crypt TV prides itself on bringing original, short-form scares to the horror community; and we are so excited to partner with Inkshares to give the fans a voice and platform to bring the next great horror story to life. Inkshares facilitates an incredible opportunity for fans and writers alike, and I can’t wait to see the response from our horror-loving community.”
Crypt TV and Inkshares will announce the winners of the Crypt TV collection contest on Friday, November 4, 2016.
