I am a MARSocial "Author of the Year" Competition Finalist!

From Romantic Comedies to Eroticism, from Crime Fiction to Fantasy, from Contemporary Fiction to Science Fiction and one autobiography by a dog named Lynyrd Skynyrd...okay, he had some help...this compilation of genres has proven to be quite a competition. 

MARSocial, in conjunction with Keeran Vaani Creations International Film Producers, has designed a competition that is run by authors for the benefit of all the authors who enter. Excerpts of the participants’ book are shared via friends, family and followers on social media throughout the competition. With well over 200,000 individual Marzian (MARSocial Members) author's book excerpts tweeted and retweeted over a millions times, this competition has provided excellent exposure for all who participated.

In the final stages of the competition; authors’ chapter excerpts are being tweeted to millions of followers around the world in hopes to claim the coveted Ephraim Prize. On February 1st the winner will announced and they could have the chance to have their work turned into a film adaptation by Keeran Vaani Creations.

According to founder of the competition, Joseph Ephraim or “Cap’n Joe” as he is known online, “Our Aim is to give all our Marzian authors who enter this competition as much maximum exposure via the large social media networking sites as we possibly can.

What really makes the competition stand out is that, like no other literary contest I've ever heard of, the authors actually HELP each other to gain more recognition for their hard work. It has been a great experience just being a part of such a supportive community. I'm already a WINNER for just having entered.
