The 2013 Baker's Dozen Agent Auction WINNERS

Another exciting auction, folks!  I'm especially grateful to our illustrious agents, who kept things rolling while I had to be away from my desk for an hour during prime bidding time.  (Not only is Michelle Wolfson a fine agent, but also she's very bossy and knows how to set things straight.  She's a keeper!)

We've got 23 FULL REQUESTS!  And some disgruntled agents, too.  (Yanno.  The ones who lost the fulls they really wanted.)  And TONS of behind-the-scenes and in-the-comment-boxes fun.  (Some of these agents could easily moonshine as stand-up comics.  Seriously.  Scroll through if you haven't had the pleasure yet.)

Winners:  Please email me at facelesswords(at)gmail.com for specific submission instructions.  In order to streamline this process, PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:  Your post number, title, and the agent's name and request.  Your material will be granted to the winning agents on a ONE WEEK EXCLUSIVE.

Once the week has expired, other agents who placed bids--but didn't win--will have the opportunity to email me to request material from the auction.  SO SIT TIGHT.  I'll be contacting you if you've got more requests.

(And, yes.  There MIGHT be an agent or editor here and there who have been snooping around and drooling into my email box in addition to the winning bids.  I will be busy for a few days!)

  3. Am I reading this wrong, or do I see that EVERY entry got a bid/request? How cool! Unless, of course, I read this wrong. We're talking about numbers here, and for me. . . Well, not so much with the counting.

  4. I think agent Pam went through and bid on everyone who didn't have a bid, which is so ridiculously kind and awesome of her i can't even.

  5. Congratulations to all the authors in the contest, all of whom deserve a big "Way to go" for putting themselves and their work out there for all to see! And thank you to our wonderful agents for their interest and time. And funny comments.:)

    And, of course, a BIG thanks to Authoress and her cohorts in crime for yet another successful Baker's Dozen!

  6. BD entrants: you are all winners in my book. Thanks for having the courage to put your work out there for meanies like me to critique. I wish every one of you much good fortune and success.

    Thanks, Authoress and Jodi--and all the critiquing writers and editors--for all you do, and thanks, agents, for the spectacle. Pam has a heart of gold. Better luck next year to Brooks. Maybe he should train an accomplice to divert the others from piling on, and then he can ride on to glory.

    Till next year: keep on writing, everyone.

  9. Once again, thank you so much, Authoress, for all your hard work in making this opportunity possible for everyone--and another great big thank you to Jodi and all the participating agents! :)

    I have a question: if you've just started querying, and a couple of the agents here are on your list but they didn't bid on your entry, should you still query them anyway, or would it be better to check them off the list?

    Also, I'm just curious--if an agent bid on an entry in a genre they don't represent, might they have done so with the idea of sharing it with a partner in their agency who does rep that genre? I suppose it's obvious that one reason I'm asking has to do with the aforementioned very generous agent who apparently bid on every entry to make sure no one was left out! :)))

  12. A huge thank you to Authoress, Jodi Meadows, the great group of agents, and everyone who participated, including those who took the time to critique entries, even if they weren't one of the 60 entrants. This was great fun, so useful, and really inspiring.
