ReplyDeleteMany thanks to you Authoress! Without this website and the work you put into it, none of us would've even had the chance to submit to this agency.
ReplyDeleteYay, my favorites made it to notable mentions, and one made it to runner up. Congrats! One didn't make it, but my fingers are crossed the writer has success with a different agent. :D
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm so excited. Thank you for hosting this contest and your generous support of writers! Congrats to all the winners and good luck with the future submissions!
ReplyDeleteWow, tons of winners! Congratulations, everyone! It was a great batch of opening pages.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations everyone. So happy to see my favorites made it! And, yes, Susie J is correct. They are closed to unsolicited submissions. A big thank you to Authoress!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see so many winners/notable mentions - congratulations to them all, and thanks to Authoress and Ms. Paquette for the contest.

ReplyDeleteI was shocked to see mine listed under notable mentions when I came to check out the winners.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised to see so many chosen though, I thought this was a great batch of submissions. (Miss SFV is getting us all in shape) Thank you Ms. Paquette for giving us the opportunity to submit to your agency. I've always wanted to.
As a side note, I really enjoyed several that weren't chosen. There were lots of great entries.
Thanks everyone for the opportunity.
Wow! I'm so excited to be a Notable Mention!
ReplyDeleteBut you want to know something weird? {I don't care if you want to know or not, I'm still telling! :-)}
This was my last ditch effort on this particular story at this time--and I woke up at 3:45 this morning with the realization that I needed to dump the entire second chapter. Huh? It's not this story hasn't gone through numerous drafts and CP's after I finished it last spring. I guess putting it out there for the Secret Agent and all the commenters that made me wake up.
Thank you Authoress and everyone who commented!
Wow, what great prizes! Congratulations, everyone!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners. I have a good friend agented through this agency and you are all getting an amazing opportunity! Hooray!

ReplyDeleteCongrats to all. I agree there were lots of good submissions.
ReplyDeleteMs. Paquette was so generous with her comments and requests that it makes me wish I would've been eligible for this contest. Ah, well.
What astoundingly generous offers Ms. Paquette has extended to so many contestants! Wow--this woman is fantastic! She's a Professional, offering critiques! Brief or not, these days such generosity is rarer than ethics in Congress.
ReplyDeleteSo, though not involved in this contest, I'd like to say THANK YOU to Ms. Paquette. Sooooo nice of you.

ReplyDeleteOh wow. I am so shocked to see that I'm one of the winners -- a 25 page crit is an AMAZING prize and I'm really looking forward to it. And congrats to everyone! There were lots of great entries this round and I think that's reflected in the number of prizes :D
