Tapas Entertainment, a premier digital publishing platform, is thrilled to announce the launch of the "Tapas Action Fantasy Tourney," an Action Fantasy Web Novel Writing Contest. This exciting new competition aims to spotlight both emerging and established authors within the action fantasy genre, building on the success of Tapas' previous "True Love on Tapas" contest.
Unleash Your Creativity with Our Writing Contest
The inaugural competition demonstrated the power of writing contests in forging strong relationships with talented writers. Instead of traditional contest prizes, this competition offers publishing contracts with sizable rewards, creating significant growth potential and publicity opportunities. Participants are invited to submit 20 chapters, each between 1,500 and 2,300 words, with selected stories expected to expand to a minimum of 120 chapters to ensure a satisfying conclusion for readers. The competition is open to all subgenres within action fantasy, and previously published but unmonetized works are eligible. Writers worldwide are encouraged to participate, though all entries must be in English.
