The goal: write a complete novel in only 72 hours. The reward: a heck of a creative experience and one coffee-stained, tear-tinged, rule-breaking first draft. And for the winning author, publication. (There's cash prizes, too.) It's a notorious international rite-of-passage for writers, happening every year since 1977. |
