Amanda E. Forrest Wins L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future Contest

Amanda E. Forrest from Gunnison, Colorado will be honored at the 30th Annual L. Ron Hubbard Achievement awards being held in April 2014 in Los Angeles. The event will celebrate the annual winners in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contests, where Marina was the 1st quarter, second place winner for this year, making it further than some several thousand others, and where her winning story will also be published in the bestselling Science Fiction anthology series - L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume xx.

Writing has been a goal of Amanda's for years and her husband provides support for her.

Alongside Amanda will be with 11 other winners from all walks of life, flown in from all corners of the globe. They will be treated to a week-long workshop taught by the contest blue ribbon panel of judges including Tim Powers and Dave Wolverton, followed by the gala awards ceremony.

The Contests were initiated by L. Ron Hubbard in 1983 shortly after returning to the field of science fiction with his bestseller Battlefield Earth. To date, the contest has launched the careers of 11 New York Times bestselling authors.
