BLACK NEWSPAPER?
YOU: A
POTENTIAL
WRITER?
Many people who think they
may have what it takes to do the
“write” thing. be a writer, that
is—will enter this year’s Writers
of the Future Contest, now
celebrating over 16 years of
helping new writers.
The contest was founded by L.
Ron Hubbard, shortly after the
release of his best selling science
fiction novel Battlefield
Earth—now in production as a
major motion picture starring John
Travolta. An acclaimed writer for
over 50 years, Hubbard gave
freely and generously of his time
and energy to help others become
better and more productive
writers.
Winners of the Writers of the
Future Contest—judged by such
luminaries as Anne McCaffrey,
Larry Niven, Frederik Pohl, Dave
Wolverton and Kevin J.
Anderson—win cash prizes,
superb trophies, a week-long
writing workshop and publication
in the L. Ron Hubbard Presents
Writers of the Future anthology as
well as the promise of critical
recognition in the genres of
science fiction and fantasy.
Scores of contestants have
continued with now-successful
careers. At last count, there have
been over 250 novels—including
New York Times best sellers—and
2,000 short stories sold by these
winners, in the fields of science
fiction and fantasy alone. Others
have gone onto publish in such
genres as mystery and romance, to
write for TV and motion pictures,
and to become editors and critics.
If you prefer to express your
creativity through art, there is a
sister contest—the Illustrators of
the Future Contest and the winners
also win prizes and are published
in the anthology. This contest was
established in 1988 to discover
and acknowledge new and
budding illustrators in the field of
science fiction and fantasy. Its
judges include top artists such as
Edd Cartier, Bob Eggieton, Frank
Frazetta and Frank Kelly-Freas.
The sixteenth anniversary of the
L. Ron Hubbard Awards ceremony
will be celebrated later this year in
Hollywood. You can find out more
about the contest by writing to
“The L. Ron Hubbard Writers of
the Future Contest,” Box 1630,
Los Angeles, CA 90078. Or buy a
copy of L. Ron Hubbard Presents
Writers of the Future, Volume XV
to get the flavor of the contest as
well as great writing advice
contained in each volume of the
anthology.
