    Congrats to the winners!

    It was really helpful to read the advice from the very generous agent this month and also I saw Jodi Meadows doing crits as well!!! So much to think about and digest in their comments.

    I sat this one out as I am back to the old drawing board with my submissions, but it was still a very useful experience to read the subs and crits. Thanks again to Miss Snark!

    Congratulations winners and thank you Authoress for the contest.
    The worthy comments apply to other generes, too. After scrapping three pages of my novel, those middle graders will have tingling spines on the first page. (first page!)
    Thank you Emmanuelle Alspaugh for sharing your time. Hope to have you back again.
