AMERICAN TITLE V

AMERICAN TITLE

American Title is the reality contest for writers, run by Romantic Times Magazine and Dorchester Publishing of New York.

Every month since November 2008 a small group of aspiring writers have been pitching for votes in order to stay in this grueling contest, with a publishing contract as the reward. One by one – and two by two, as the pace hotted up in 2009, they dropped out. Now only one remains - the winner of American Title V. The name of the lucky woman will be revealed in April at the Booklovers Convention in Orlando. To find out who made it to the prize, visit the Romantic Times website or pick up a copy of the June issue of the magazine.

Only one can make it to this coveted Dorchester contract, but that doesn’t mean it’s all over for the other contestants. Many finalists in previous contests have made it into print since their names first appeared in the American Title line up. Of course the current crop of finalists all hope that it will happen to them – two are already blazing a trail, having been e-published while the contest was still going on.

The books on offer from the finalists cover every romance genre - from time travel, to fantasy, to romantic suspense.

Remember these names, you’ll sure to be hearing more from them in the future.
