Ready, Set, Go!

It's official! The Modern Dickens Project begins right now! You can now download the initial chapter of the book, created by the wonderful John Domini, and from there, start working on your chapter to submit!

To help everyone get a head start, the deadline for 2nd chapter submissions is October 21st. After that, writers have a mere 23 days to submit chapters for consideration for the next month. Remember, there's not an entry fee to be a part of this contest, as we are a non-profit organization, but the winner of each monthly installment will receive an honorarium of $100.

Find out about author reading events, talk about the MDP with fellow writers, and learn more about the MDP by following us on Facebook and Twitter. Simply click on links on the MDP home page.

We're looking for writers who can continue the story of modern Iowa. Are you one of them? Download the first chapter and let your imagination flow. We can't wait to read your submissions!
