Win a trip to the Frankfurt Book Fair

GuideGecko.com holds an international writing contest for travel, food and lifestyle guides in conjunction with the world’s largest book fair in Frankfurt, Germany. The contest is open to all aspiring and established authors on all career levels. Authors from all over the world can submit their own travel, lifestyle or entertainment guides, and the winning titles will be showcased on the fair. The top prize is a personal trip to the fair in October 2009. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet renowned publishers, pitch story ideas, and expose their titles to over 300,000 visitors and 10,000 journalists. Hall 3, where the winning titles will be displayed, is probably the most lively hall on the whole fair – bringing great exposure to the author and the books that are on display.

The contest deadline is September 24, 2009. There is no page limit and authors are welcome to submit new and existing works, as long as they fit into the (broad) categories of travel, lifestyle and entertainment guides. Authors keep all copyrights, and participation is free. More info: www.guidegecko.com/writing-contest
