Galaxy Press First Time Attendee for Salt Lake City Comic Con
Salt Lake City, UT, September 29, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Salt Lake City also has the distinct honor of having more winners of the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest than any other city in the world including winners Scott Parkin, Amy Hughes, Eric James Stone, Brad Torgersen and Robert J. Defendi. World renowned authors, initially hailing from the Salt Lake City, Orson Scott Card, Dave Wolverton aka David Farland (Contest winner turned Contest judge) and Brandon Sanderson are Writers of the Future Contest judges.

With Galaxy Press’ premier attendance at the convention, it was no wonder awareness of and demand for Writers of the Future was so high. Multiple NYT bestselling authors Jim Butcher, Dave Wolverton and R.A. Salvatore were guest speakers on a panel on writing short stories and novels before a packed hall of over 600 attendees. Wolverton, holding a copy of Writers of the Future Volume 32, advised aspiring writers to “enter the Writers of the Future contest” and “to enter by September 30, the end of the Contest quarter.”

The Writers of the Future writing contest (www.writersofthefuture.com) was initiated by L. Ron Hubbard in 1983 to provide a means for aspiring writers to get that much-needed break. Due to the success of the Writing Contest, the companion Illustrators of the Future Contest was created in 1988.

The intensive mentoring process has proven very successful. The 368 past winners of the Writing Contest have published 838 novels and nearly 4,000 short stories. They have produced 27 New York Times bestsellers and their works have sold over 50 million copies.

The 298 past winners of the Illustrating Contest have produced over 4,500 illustrations, 356 comic books, graced 594 books and albums with their art and visually contributed to 36 TV shows and 46 major movies.

Deadline for entries for the 32nd year of Writers of the Future and Illustrators of the Future is September 30 at midnight, Pacific Time. Enter by going to www.writersofthefuture.com.
