AND THE GAVEL DROPS -- The 2014 Baker's Dozen Agent Auction is Live!

Welcome to the 5th Annual Baker's Dozen Agent Auction!

Please STOP CRITIQUING at this time.  Bidding is now LIVE.

HOW IT WORKS:

* Agents will open bidding with a minimum bid of 5 pages.
* A total of 5 bids must be made on an item before agents are allowed to bid the full.
* The full bid trumps all. Once an item receives a full bid, bidding for that item is closed, and the agent who bid the full wins it.
*At the close of the auction tonight (at 11:00 pm EST), all high bids win the items.

TO THE ENTRANTS:

Dear Ones:

Not everyone will receive bids.  I know you know this, but I wanted to point it out again.  Because IT DOESN'T MEAN YOUR WORK STINKS.  Keep writing.  Keep querying widely.  Keep believing.

TO EVERYONE:

Follow along on Twitter at #BakersDozen2014 starting NOW!  We're live tweeting the bids this morning (to the best of our ability--because they come in VERY FAST at first!).  Grab your seat and get in on the adrenaline rush!

  1. I have never used Twitter but will give it a try. Is that the only way to follow the bidding?

  3. So glad to read this, after a couple of hours trying to figure out twitter. I did succeed in finding a few tweets and tweeted back. At least I have a profile and something new to master in the social media realm :)
