Hi everyone - thank you for your feedback on the contests. DianaTheThird and lionobsession are busy discussing and setting up our new contest, so we'll be keeping you updated on our decision.

Tomorrow is the beginning of the fourth Open Novella Contest! Who's already looking forward to joining in this year?

For those of you who haven't come across this yet, it's a contest hosted by Wattpad Ambassadors where you write a 20,000-40,000 word novella over three months based on a prompt. It's great fun and a brilliant way to connect with fellow writers. More information can be found on the OpenNovellaContest profile.

We're back onto a normal round this week. The books of the missions are below. Please note that the BotM for teen fiction is from the romance genre as we have had to combine the two temporarily due to lack of members. If anyone knows of any teen fic and/or romance writers looking for writing critiques, please direct them to the club!

Book of the Mission

For FANTASY members lionobsession, BookAddictAR, Owls1221, Dante_Greywolf, and AuthorJMColes, the BotM is:

AuthorJMColes's 'Guardians: Away Mission (Book 2 of the Guardians Saga)'

"Alex and the dragon brothers Gabe, Cale, and Rile survived New Orleans, but can they survive their first mission on an alien planet? Now Alex is an outcast, a mammal in a world of intelligent reptiles, and her team is quick to sequester her in a near prison. Can they succeed in stopping a despotic monarchy without her? Can she survive without them when she refuses to stay quarantined and instead has her own ideas about a revolution against the sadistic queen?"

Then her life is threatened by a demon while attending a party, opening her eyes to the Salience World, a supernatural world existing within the human world.

Claudia must learn how to navigate this new world and its prejudices while trying to reconcile the fact that her parents have been lying to her for eighteen years for the sake of her own sanity and survival."
