  3. Yikes. I am thrilled to have found a spot in this bunch. I feel a little like the ugly stepsister--the other entries were that good.

  9. Congrats to the winners and thanks to Authoress and Laura Bradford. Number 30 seemed the natural winner to me as well!

    I was the one with the confusing genre (Women's/book club fiction with potential YA crossover) and left a more rambling note about that on my own entry (#11) in case anyone is interested. :) I appreciate all the feedback.


    Thanks for doing these contests, Authoress. Much fun!

    Authoress, you're amazing for running these contests and the secret agents are amazing for giving up their time to judge them (thanks to Ms. Bradford!).

    And a note to SFF writers: If you want your first 200 words critiqued by an editor (and anyone else who chooses to comment)check out the First Page Game at http://electricspec.blogspot.com/
    They normally crit short story openings, but they've thrown in open to novels in deference to Nanowrimo

  17. Congrats to everyone on the winners' list. All deserve to be there.

    One observation after reading them: each one is first person either past or present tense. Interesting. Seems to work best for YA.
