Keyhole Conversations Presents:
We here at Keyhole Conversations love Halloween and scary stories. You can tell that by our two collections of dark tales: Dark Side of the Rainbow and Edge of Nowhere. We’re looking for authors of dark fiction to feature in our upcoming Halloween series, so we are running a book trailer contest. Two winners will be featured in October, 2012 posts that will include the book trailer, author bio, and links to the author’s website, blog, and published books. Winners will receive a Keyhole Conversation award which can be posted on their website, blog, or author’s page.
To be eligible:
Your entry must be in English and five minutes or less in length.
You must have the rights to the images and audio in the trailer with all credits listed at the end.
Your entry must be truly scary with elements of horror or the supernatural. Think Edgar Allan Poe to Mary Shelley to Stephen King.
Your entry must be received by 11:59 p.m. on September 30, 2012
To enter:
Upload your book trailer to http://www.youtube.com/
Send e-mails with the YouTube link to both hihart@prodigy.net and to beaton@sktc.net by September 30, 2012.
