* Announcement: Baseball essay contest

January 20, 2010

From “Backstop part of 2W January book launch”:

Second Wind Publishing is having a launch party on January 29 and 30, which will include my novel Backstop: A Baseball Love Story in Nine Innings. As part of the event, I’m inviting readers to submit a personal account, between 200 and 400 words, of their most memorable baseball date. It could be disastrous; it might’ve led to marriage. It can be fictional or factual (fact is sometimes stranger than fiction!). The outcome of the game is really unimportant; what is important is what happens between the couple. In addition to a signed copy of Backstop, the winning submission will receive a signed baseball from Backstop himself!

Please submit your entry to secondwindpublishing@gmail.com. I’ll select a winning entry, which will be announced the following Saturday, February 6. I look forward to reading your entry!

Good luck and best regards,

J. Conrad Guest

FYI, “Backstop chronicles [the narrator’s] rookie season, takes the reader to Chicago where he finds romance, and reveals the heartbreak he endured in the aftermath of an adulterous affair.”
