So I was randomly perusing the Internet the other day and stumbled on what appears to be the blog of the Writers of the Future contest. I'm still a little confused about its authenticity, though. The contest's first quarter ended on April 1. I receieved an email about a week after that deadline telling me to wait 10 weeks before any kind of announcements on finalists would be made.
This being said, the blog I found claims to have announced the first quarter finalists on May 23rd. That's only two weeks after the "wait 10 weeks before we make a decision" email, not ten. I'm still hoping there was some kind of error in reporting the finalists, though, because I have not heard ANYTHING official from the contest organizers.
Does anyone have any other ideas about this?
In the even that I'm not a finalist, I'm still very interested in self-publishing my story. I found a website called Lulu that allows self-publication of eBooks for free (well, there's a 20-25% royalty charged on your selling price). If I didn't win, I'm thinking of setting up an account and selling my eBook for $1.50-$2.50 per copy. Does that sound reasonable?

WOTF First Quarter is the January 1st deadline, so if you subbed for April 1st, that's the Second Quarter. Results for that won't be announced for a while. Good luck!
Thanks for the correction Tony!
