CENTRAL OHIO FICTION WRITERS
17th Annual Ignite the Flame Contest
A rewarding contest for unpublished writers!
The sparkling dazzle of a roman candle, the white-hot brilliance of summer lightning, the slow smolder of a winter fire, or the breath-taking inferno of a wildfire--Whatever sort of heat you're building between your hero and heroine, it all begins with the spark of their first meeting. The Ignite the Flame Contest is designed to help you polish that critical scene so that it crackles with romantic energy! Electronic and paypal available.

Look what a past contestant and Golden Heart® winner said:
"ITF has been very helpful for me. Several times I've entered and received wonderful feedback that helped my manuscripts shine. More than once I've received requests from top editors through this contest and in 2008 I ended up making my first sale to one of these publishers. Thanks, COFW, for putting on a great contest!"
