“Intense, exhausting, insane, and beautiful,” is how Mark Sedore describes his experience participating in the 3-Day Novel Contest.
The contest is a literary competition in which participants are challenged to produce a novel in three days. The winner of the contest, which takes place over the Labor Day long weekend, gets to have their book published.
“The contest is the original creative pressure cooker,” says Melissa Edwards, the managing editor of the International 3-Day Novel Contest.
Sedore, a communications writer at the University of Toronto, is the winner of last year’s contest. His winning novel, Snowmen, is about the rivalry between two brothers. As one brother struggles to survive a record-setting trip around the Arctic, the other plays a deadly game of sabotage.
