New Voices 2011 feedback
by Charlotte Marshall on Monday 24 October, 2011, 12:26 PM
There has been lots and lots of great debate and feedback so far on this years competition... so it seemed sensible to have a whole post dedicated to the very subject.
Please use this space to talk freely about your experiences of New Voices 2011.
Thanks
Romance HQ

This has been an amazing experience, I've learned more about this business in a few weeks than I would otherwise have done in years. Many, many thanks to the judges, editors, mentors, readers and writers who took part, and also to all the web and admin staff who must have worked some pretty outrageous hours to keep the whole thing going.

I would just like to say a HUGE thank you to EVERYONE at Romance HQ for ALL their KINDNESS and GENEROSITY. What an AMAZING experience this has been. I will be taking away so much from this years competition.
THANK YOU for constantly putting out positive messages about how an aspiring author can get 'The Call'. Thank you for helping me cling on to the hope that one day even I might get 'The Call'!
There is a word which I am going to try and always remember, H.W.P.D.D, hard work, persistence,drive and determination! :)
I would also like to thank all the WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL authors that I have met through NV, for INSPIRING me to carry on with what I love doing most, WRITING.
I have never met a more friendlier, kinder group of people.
I am REALLY, REALLY going to miss, rushing to my computer, eager to see what the latest occurrences were on the New Voices website and joining in with some of the debates, I am just about going to miss EVERYTHING about New Voices.
I SINCERELY would like to wish EVERY SINGLE entrant all the best of luck.

I have loved the whole NV experience! It's been such a learning opportunity and I have really enjoyed reading the entries and getting caught up in the excitement of the final rounds. Everyone has worked so hard, all at romance HQ and all of the authors. Wouldn't like to guess the amount of coffee and chocolate consumed during. Well done to all!
I'd definitely like to see a name included alongside a rating to encourage more people to leave a comment and a more honest rating. Maybe rotate entries so each has the chance to be on page one and have a greater chance of being seen and read.
Can't wait for NV 2012!!!!
