Hi
Great to see a competition that gives people the chance to get published. Having recently been through the the process of completing a book and then trying to find, initially, an agent (unsuccessfully) and then a publisher (eventually successfully, I said to somebody the other day, “Writing it was the easy bit, getting it published and the marketing process is the real challenge!”

Was there a War of the Words 2010, 2011, and will there be one for 2012?
As much as I am for sci-fi nostalgia…a competition does no-one any good if its over!
I hope there will be a 2012 version…. if not, why is this thread at the very tip top of things to read on this site?
