Write a Book, Win a Prize

Crook’s Corner is looking for a few good novelists. The Crook’s Corner Book Prize, celebrated at Tuesday night’s launch party and inspired by similar awards sponsored by many cafes in Paris, will be presented next January to an author of a debut novel set in the South (although the writer can live anywhere). The winner will receive $1,000 in cash and a free glass of wine from Crook’s every day for a year. Find submission guidelines at www.crookscornerbookprize.com. The deadline to enter is June 30.
