I've never actually watched The Alan Titchmarsh Show, but I'm going to have to, because Mr Titchmarsh is running a competition to find "the People's Author" and the judges are Cecelia Ahern, Fay Weldon, Marian Keyes and Kate Mosse.
The competition begins on Monday (5th October) with 16 finalists going through four heats with the judges selecting a winner for each heat. Cecelia Ahern is judging the first heat, Weldon the second (19th October), Keyes the third on 2nd November, and Mosse finishing things up on the 16th.
Each winner will then go on to a live final on 23rd November when an overall winner will be decided by a public vote.
The winning author will receive a £20,000 book contract with Orion.
OMG! Like Strictly Come Writing or the Write Factor or something? How thrilling - I bet it'll be a massive disappointment (the entry conditions I mean). And I've NEVER written anything I'd remotely consider to be 'inspiring' anyway - pah!
