WestBow Press announces writing contest winners
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (PRWEB) January 23, 2015 -- WestBow Press announced last week the winners of the 2014 New Look Writing Contest. “The Stone of Ebenezer” by Susan Van Vokenburgh was selected as the grand-prize winner.
WestBow’s first-ever New Look Writing Contest was promoted through the BookLook Bloggers book review program and received more than 80 manuscript submissions. Judges of the contest found the novel “The Stone of Ebenezer” to be a sweeping saga of loss and revenge set in the days of the last judge of Israel. Nations clash over the course of the novel, and two men fighting on opposite sides must overcome their pasts and reconcile the conflicts of their faiths. “The Stone of Ebenezer” is Susan Van Vokenburgh’s second book. Her debut title, “Silent Resolve and the God Who Let Me Down,” was published with WestBow Press in 2012.
In addition to a grand-prize winner, WestBow Press selected first- and second-place winners whose manuscripts were examples of new, creative Christian voices.
Anna Schaeffer’s “All of This” took home the first-place title, and Franella Smith’s “Like Apples on Trees” earned second place. To learn more about these prize-winning stories, please visit http://www.westbowpress.com/newlook/winners.aspx.
As the grand-prize winner, “The Stone of Ebenezer” will be placed in the BookLook Bloggers program, which provides select copies of Thomas Nelson, Zondervan, and WestBow Press titles to qualified bloggers for free, in return for book reviews. Schaeffer and Smith will receive free publishing packages from WestBow Press.
