The description is really amazing. The story is written beautifully and the phrases used, really enhances the beauty of the plot. I look forward to read the rest of the book.

THIRD PLACE:

Title: Dried Hearts

Author: pjessy99

Judge's comments: 

The title invites in readers, but it doesn't directly relate to the book, at this point. The description makes you very excited to read the book, by giving basic information, but withholding enough information to make the reader long for more. The cover has the title and the author's name on it, but it could be improved to relate a bit more to the story at this stage, or catch the eye of readers.The plot is dragged out a lot, and this could be improved by providing a little more background information on the character, and some more of her thoughts. There were no distracting grammar or punctuation errors. Good job! The idea was very unique, and would interest a wide range of readers. The plot has obviously been thoroughly thought-through beforehand, and your extra effort has paid off by presenting a polished piece.
