Writing for the Stars Finalist asks for UB Support

I am a UB '84 graduate out of the English Department who is a finalist (actually, the only finalist from New York, Buffalo, and UB!) in Kensington Publishing's writing competition called Writing with the Stars (formerly known as American Title). This contest is the American Idol of the writing world with five rounds of competition, two finalists eliminated during each of the first four rounds, the last two finalists battling it out for the win in the fifth round, and the winner receiving a publishing contract from Kensington Publishing.
