The purpose is to provide feedback for those who are planning to enter their loglines and first 250 words in the Baker's Dozen Agent Auction. This round is the first of 3. See the Baker's Dozen Schedule (check side bar) for the full schedule of events. :)Authoresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223228949688667517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-54148165297592801972011-09-27T16:42:34.278-04:002011-09-27T16:42:34.278-04:00That was my question, too, Anonymous.

All genres are included except erotica.<br /><br />3. There will be a word count limit, but it will be generous during critiques, since probably many of you will have to pare yours down as you continue to edit. There is no requirement on the number of sentences. (I haven't decided on word count yet; I'm thinking 125, maybe?)<br /><br />4. All rules about the Baker's Dozen will be posted NEXT WEEK in a big, juicy post. I'm still working out some small details. :)Authoresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223228949688667517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-67554180404834318312011-09-22T11:33:35.837-04:002011-09-22T11:33:35.837-04:00Hi Authoress,
