The competition will culminate in Atlanta, Georgia where the three finalists of the competition will host a once-in-a-lifetime meet and greet with New York Times Bestselling authors Steve Berry and Scott Sigler.  Berry and Sigler will also be among the guest judges that will decide who has The Write Stuff!

At stake for the winner is a one-book deal and virtual copies of their book on cd compliments of AG Press. Additionally they will receive a detailed marketing plan written specifically for the winner to make their book a success, a print and online marketing campaign complete with promotional materials to assist in their advertising, a brand new Dell Laptop and much more!
