  1. That was quick. Is it some kind of record?

    My clock still showed 12:00 when I hit send and the number I got was halfway through the list already.

    Either everyone has a new novel to shop, or this agent is really something :)

  2. Sher, I'm guessing the contest filled up so fast because the agent reps really popular genres (especially on this site). Good luck to you!

    Authoress, does the second window open at 6:00 Eastern or 7:00?

  7. I got the error of the header causing the rejection of my piece (although I typed it myself instead of copying), but was somehow able to recopy, cut out a sentence and resend and STILL make it in the window.

    I have no idea how.

  8. Obviously you were meant to be in this round. :)

  9. I must be having a brain freeze because I can't see (or remember) what I am supposed to put in the subject line of the email.

  10. Subject line doesn't matter. Just don't use "RE:" in it, or the bot will think you are replying to an email and will reject you.

  11. So could I leave the subject line blank when I try at 7.00PM?

  12. Well, I'm not sure why you would want to leave it blank. Honestly, I don't know if my guru has it programmed to not like that or not.

    Just put anything descriptive there. It doesn't matter; I don't see the emails.

    SECRET AGENT CONTEST
    SA CONTEST
    CONTEST ENTRY

    Those are all good examples.

  13. A,

    May I suggest that your clever programming guru create a program in which a hearty biceped arm reaches out of my screen and waps me over the head while saying: submissions are open, press send, you idiot!

    Another A
