I've finished writing the first novel in a series. I've researched a relative variety of publishers and publishing methods, but when it comes to finding any answers regarding wether or not an european novelist can join a japanese contest or submit his work to a japanese publisher, information seems to be scarce. A few of the purposes that I'm pursuing by doing this include the attempts to make this series either a manga, anime etc. So, my questions are:
1) Can an european writer join a japanese contest, such as the Dengeki Novel Prize, or anything similar?
2) Are any japanese contests or publishers accepting english materials?
3) How many chances does a foreign writer have, compared to a japanese author, to have his work published in Japan and, subsequently, expanded into manga/anime etc.? Provided that the work is of relatively superior quality, compared to the generally accepted standards, in terms of writing, characters and story complexity.
