I'm not entering any books in RWAmerica contests this year. There, I've said it out loud -- now I can't renege! But that decision hasn't stopped me clicking on links to various chapter contests as the announcements appear in my in-box. It's force of habit (yes, I am a recovering contest addict)...and it's curiosity. I'm interested to see which categories each chapter contest includes this year; if they've taken aboard the shortened word count of category/series books, if they've acknowledged the surge in popularity of some sub-genres and the apparent wane in others.
So, while scanning one contest's set of rules/conditions this morning I noticed the link to find readers as contest judges. And I thought of my faithful readers (seeing as I'm not entering, no conflict of interest.) If you think you might be interested in judging a panel of books (usually you choose the genre or category, the number, and you get to keep the books!) then try these couple for starters:
