VFRW’s Contests

The Keystone

What’s the keystone scene in your not-yet-published work — the scene that’s integral to your book? Is it the Meet-Cute? Is it the First Kiss? Is it the moment when all hope seems lost? Start polishing that scene, and stay tuned for contest details coming soon!

The Sheila:

Throughout its history, VFRW was proud to host the annual Sheila Contest for excellence in unpublished opening scenes. With a comprehensive score sheet and insightful feedback from our members, the contest was a Must Enter for many. As the romance publishing landscape has changed, we made the difficult decision to sunset The Sheila in favor of moving forward with a new and exciting contest. But we’ll never forget The Sheila and all it meant to both VFRW and all of the contest entrants.
