This week we’ve launched the first Orbit Fantasy Writing Workshop, led by the bestselling author Karen Miller. We really hope you’ve been enjoying taking part.

As the week draws to a close, today we’re posting a final piece of advice from Karen on Making a Good First Impression with your Fantasy Novel. We hope this helps when you’re adding the final touches to your writing piece.

For the chance to get personal feedback from an Orbit editor and bestselling author Karen Miller, submit your writing sample (up to 2,000 words max) below, along with a brief author biography (up to 150 words). All submissions should be in .doc, .docx or PDF format, and should include your name and the title of your submission on every page. Submissions must adhere to the writing challenge set by Karen Miller to be considered.
