Chance to win book deal on Tubridy show
RTÉ Radio 1's Tubridy Show and Gill & Macmillan have teamed up to offer a publishing deal worth €10,000 with Ireland's leading publisher.
The search is on for an unusual, human story with a strong Irish angle. It must be a true story, something a bit different, out of the ordinary.
The competition will be officially launched on The Tubridy Show on Tuesday 01 May and will run for two weeks.
A telephone line will be open for entrants to leave a three minute message outlining their true story. Entries will be judged by a panel comprising The Tubridy Show, a leading author, Gill & Macmillan and a bookseller.
The short-listed entrants will be interviewed by Ryan Tubridy before the overall winner will be announced the week of 21 May and later presented with a publishing contract. A ghost-writer will be available to work with the winner on their story.
Ryan Tubridy said: "Nearly everyone in Ireland believes they have a book in them. They certainly have a story to tell, we all do, and that's what we're trying to tap into with this competition."
You can call the competition line on 1520 501 650. Lines strictly open Tuesday 01 May - Tuesday 15 May.
