‘I THINK WE’VE FOUND
A STAR!’ SAYS RIVERDALE AVENUE BOOKS PUBLISHER LORI PERKINS ABOUT THE WINNER OF
WRITERS’ IDOL COMPETITION
‘Three Princes for Sienna’ by
Solara Gordon Captures Erotic Romance Publishing Contract
RIVERDALE, NY - (May
13, 2013)— Riverdale Avenue Books, one of the
nation’s fastest-growing e-book publishers, has offered an erotic romance
publishing contract to Solara Gordon,
who captured the Writers’ Idol
competition held recently at the annual Romantic
Times Convention in Kansas City, Mo.
Ms Gordon won for her submission ‘Three Princes for Sienna.’ Riverdale Avenue Books will publish it next
spring, just before the next Writers Idol competition to be held in New
Orleans.
“I stepped out of my comfort zone and found out wonderful
things can and do happen! I’m still in
awe and pinching myself over this. Thank
you!” said the author when notified she had won the Romantic Times award.
More than 4,000 romance writers and readers gathered for the
convention at the Sheraton Kansas City at Crown Center. Hundreds of manuscripts were reviewed by a
panel of industry judges made up of leading editors and literary agents.
“This book is so perfect for Riverdale Avenue Books that I
thought I had imagined it. Fairy tale
and multiple partners – who could ask for more? I am hoping to be working with this author
for years to come. I think we’ve found a star!” said publisher Lori Perkins
The over–all winner of the writing contest was the YA
paranormal ‘What the Fey’ by R.A. Gates (aka Ruth Gates). She received
mentorship and representation from New York literary agents Nicole Riscinneti
of the Seymour Agency and super-agent Louise Fury
