Patrick B. points us to this interesting contest:
Net contest hopes to be 'American Idol' of books: "As part of the 'First Chapters' contest, aspiring first-time authors and members of Gather.com can post manuscripts on that social-networking Web site, organizers from publisher Touchstone Fireside and Gather.com said Thursday.
Touchstone Fireside is an imprint of Simon & Schuster, a division of Viacom.
If online readers like the manuscript's first chapter, the author is voted through to the next round. Two more chapters are posted and the public narrows the field in the same fashion."
