Attention All Aspiring Authors: Do You Have That First Line?

So you’ve always wanted to write a book - well here’s your chance to at least begin with that first line.

I got a note from the good folks at Perseus telling me about a project they’re launching called "Book The Sequel."

“What is it? It’s a book that asks the world to write the first sentence for a yet-to-be-written sequel to any book ever published.

Perseus Books Group is spearheading a collaborative effort to publish a new book - during the span of the 2009 BookExpo America (BEA) …that will be created collaboratively, and that will be published into as many formats as possible in 48 hours."

They’re accepting submissions now at www.bookthesequel.com. Visit the website to write the first sentence of a sequel to a book you love (and the title if you’re feeling especially creative).

Submissions will close Thursday, May 28, at 4pm of the first day at BEA.

You can also follow the project on Twitter (@BookSequel), and contribute your sentence!
