#MarSocial's Author of the Year Competition!

As my readers probably already know, I am now a finalist in the MarSocial's Author of the Year Competition. I wanted to take a moment and explain what the competition is about.  

If you are following my feeds on Twitter, you have probably seen me tweet about other authors.  Some of you have even retweeted my posts, and thanks so much for that.  This is truly an altruistic competition, and the first of its kind.  Here is a description:

MARSocial Author of the Year Competition  is the greatest social media event to take over Twitter. From the millions of authors on Twitter, around 50 authors have made it through to the finalist stages of what’s being called the X-Factor of author competitions. Also this is the biggest author/book/film competition every launched on the world-wide-web which has been running over the past two months and has already had over 100,000 different author’s book excerpt tweets sent out during its duration, with one single book excerpt tweet being retweeted over 11,000 times, substantiating the fact that news of the competition has literally gone out to billions around the world.

According to founder of the competition, Joseph Ephraim or “Cap’n Joe” as he is known to us online, “Our aim is to give all our Marzian authors who enter this competition as much maximum exposure via the large social media networking sites as we possibly can.”
