Here's a heads-up for an awesome contest that will start on June 1st. It's being hosted by the great gals over at the Querytracker blog and involves literary agent, Kathleen Ortiz. She'll read your pitch AND first chapters of the first 100 entries she receives as if they were requested partials -- and she'll give feedback on them. All of them! While I have yet to successfully enter a contest involving time constraints, this is an incredible opportunity for those of you more technologically advanced than I am. Which would be all of you.
Speaking of Querytracker gals, I've said on many occasions how much I think Elana Johnson rocks. Seriously. I'm a huge fangirl of hers and she just shared some uber-amazing news -- as in her book sold, she's getting published kind of news! Click on her link to read her amazing journey to publication and give her a huge congrats - she deserves it!
Happy Monday!
YAYAYAYAYAY!!! ELANA!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Kathleen was just unveiled as the Secret Agent!
Lacey - how cool! I hope you win!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the kindness! You are amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteGo Elena! Thanks for the heads up on the contest! As it turns out, Kathleen was the Secret Agent on Miss Snark's monthly contest so she's already seen my opening page! Oh well, maybe I can submit another ms.
ReplyDeleteElana is also giving away books all week in celebration, starting today!
ReplyDeleteCQG, which entry was yours? I entered this one too. #3.
ReplyDeleteYay Elana.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about the QT contest too. Fantastic opportunity for feedback. Hope can get an entry within the 100. :)
Elana is so AWESOME! I am so happy for her. I hope this is the first of many, many books. :)
