Not merely a co-authored parody by Ann and I, Top Novelist seeks wacky and witty contestants for its weekly challenges. Every week, we’ll design writerly challenges from the sublime to the ridiculous, and—-in character-—you’ll compose responses. Don’t worry, they’ll be short and sweet . . . until the final challenge where we just might ask you to write a short story or something.

If you’re interested in taking on a role, email me at ryan [dot] Claycomb [at] mail [dot] wvu [dot] edu with the roles you are interested in. Preference given to people we know in real life and blogs I read regularly. Please be aware that every contest will have a contestant eliminated, and it may have nothing at all to do with quality. The creators (Ann and Ryan Claycomb) decide this all by ourselves. The winner will get bragging rights and a little giftie both cool and writerly.

When we choose our cast, we’ll email you some more details about your characters and announce the cast here on Cats and Dogma. Looking for contestants now . . .
