American Icon is a literary version of American Idol. Contestants (limited to the first 20 who sign up), have two minutes to read from their work of fiction or non-fiction. A panel of three celebrity judges then gives on-the-spot feedback to the contestant.

This year our judges are fantasy author Todd Fahnestock, publisher Sue Hamilton, and literary agent Rachelle Gardner. It's a glitzy evening of laughter, excitement, and wonderful desserts. So join in the fun! Enter to win acclaim and great prizes or come to support your favorite authors and enjoy an evening guaranteed to entertain. Register to be a contestant or attend as an audience member–you'll have a great time either way.

Prizes Include (but are not limited to):
• Partial manuscript critique (5-page synopsis and first 30 pages) by Steve Saffel, free-lance editor
• Partial manuscript critique (proposal and first 10 pages with a 20-minute phone consult) by Sara Megibow, associate literary agent with Nelson Literary Agency, LLC.
• Partial manuscript critique and advice (first 25 pages) by Sue Hamilton, president Dialogue Publishing, Inc.
• Partial manuscript critique (nonfiction book proposal or first 20 pages of a novel) by Rachelle Gardner, literary agent, WordServe Literary Group.
• A night's stay at the Colorado Springs Marriott.
