Chatting With Sherri welcomes back publisher and writer; John Goodwin!

 

Over its 35 year history, the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest has recognized 404 winners who have gone on to publish 1,150 novels and 4,450 short stories.  Of these, 192 are still active with a writing career—that’s over 40%. Twelve of these Contest winners have gone on to become NYT bestselling authors. And Contest Winners have garnered 155 major awards.  Collectively, the winners of the contests have sold over 60 million books over the years.  And with the last 4 volumes of Writers of the Future hitting national bestseller lists—and each of the winners becoming national bestselling authors and illustrators as a result—contest entries continue to increase each quarter with entries from around the world.
