Our July SECRET AGENT: ARE YOU HOOKED? contest is up and running! The submission window will remain open for twenty-four hours.

That's all I need! All entries will receive a lottery number for the drawing. Once submissions close, I will draw 50 entries at random, and the winners will be notified via email. Winners will then be invited to submit your 250-word opening.

    Wow, I'd forgotten all about this. Okay, maybe that's because I can't enter (YA urban fantasy/have already entered) and I have no new ms ready yet. But I must admit this month's contest (and a few other factors) are making me realize maybe it's time for me to switch out of my genre comfort zone, and try out YA contemporary instead.

    In the meantime, I look forward to reading and critting all the YA entries.

    I can never figure out what exact genre my book would fall into. It's urban fantasy, paranormal - werewolves, witches, shapeshifters, has some language in it and some adult moments - so what would you call that? :)
