“America's Next Great Author is like American Idol”
The creators of America's Next Great Author wanted a positive reality show for writers and are giving those who may not have a shot at mainstream publishing a chance to be seen. According to their website, amateur writers have one minute to pitch their book ideas to a panel of publishing experts. Six finalists will go to a writer's retreat for 30 days and in the end, one finalist will have their published book presented in the finale.
Notre Dame graduate, Valencia Joy is the author of the award-winning book"I Met a Guy and Other Things You Can Only Discuss with Your Sistergirlfriends". Out of hundreds of submissions for America's Next Great Author's pilot, Joy was chosen to be a semi-finalist and will head to Newark, NJ on Oct. 30 in hopes of taking home the grand prize of $2500 and a major role in the pilot.
