Devoted to publishing, publishers and to those who craft the written word

So you've carried your characters through hundreds of pages of adventures. Maybe you are sick of them. Maybe you feel like you are losing your best friends. How do you end your novel?

Professional ghostwriter Laura J. College wrote a helpful short essay on the topic, but the resources are scarce. Today, you can practice your ending skills...

Jeff VanderMeer, one of our guests at The Publishing Spot, is furious with the endings of one of his favorite book series, The Bourne Ultimatum. He felt like he had read to the end of this spy trilogy, hoping, praying for a slam-bang pay-off. 

Frustrated with the ending, he decided to hold a contest. Let's jump in:

"Entertain me, dear readers. Bourne makes it to the place where he’ll find out “the truth”. Give me an alternate ending. What’s the real truth behind Jason Bourne? What does he *really* find out? Contest ends Friday at noon EST and the winner receives a copy of Best American Fantasy and the trade paper of Shriek: An Afterword."
