(As a side note, I've been thinking of how I can have a giveaway that includes all of my writer friends and all of the many genres they write in. So, the next giveaway will be for a query critique. When? When I have time, of course! I'll let you know around the net.)
As for this week's contest, here are a few guidelines:
- Up to 1000 words (but 700 or less is preferable, just like for most publishers)
- No rhyming (it's not my cup of tea a.k.a. I'm not good at it)
- Fiction or nonfiction is okay
- The winner should email me the manuscript within 3 days
- I will finish the critique as soon as I possibly can, but I cannot foresee my future from day to day so be a little patient with me
Just put a comment on this post to enter. Entries are open up through May 16th. I'll announce the winner in the comment section of this post on Tuesday, May 17. Extras are fun, so one extra entry for each. (Please let me know in your comment):
- follow my blog
- tweet
- blog
- share it some other way--maybe there are social networking sites I don't even know about...maybe. :)
