These types of contests provide valuable feedback from people who care about writing.<br /><br />Critiques/contests that help me: query critiques; synopsis help; first 250; pitches.<br /><br />I'd also love to see a Q&A from agents/editors around questions we send you:<br />What makes a great/poor query? What tropes need to be ditched/saved/reinvented?<br /><br />Some ideas!<br /><br />Thank you!!Ellen Mulhollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978299715941154306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-78294100664542881652017-04-08T08:55:59.057-04:002017-04-08T08:55:59.057-04:00I love your blog, which is full of information and...I love your blog, which is full of information and has helped me find a lot of things I've been looking for. And this secret agent has taught me a lot, particularly that I seem to be on the wrong track. Once more, after god knows how many different 250 I've written. But after this experience, I think I know which way I should be heading. Thank you so much for this opportunity. And yes, maybe a query critique round could be something to consider, if your time schedule allows it. Enjoy your time with your sister.

I ...I love your inspiring blog and all that you do. I would LOVE something that gives us additional insight on showing vs. telling. I know when we TELL an emotion (e.g. Sarah was sad) that's telling, but when Sarah is watching something that makes her feel sad and we're seeing it through her eyes, besides physical reactions to the event (lump in throat, gut wrenching, etc.) how else can it be shown so the reader feels it.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661894463515895115noreply@blogger.com
