And we have another agent signing!
January Secret Agent Contest winner Vahini Naidoo has just signed with the lovely Ammi-Joan Paquette, who had chosen Vahini's excerpt as one of her winners! (Entry #14, if you want to take a peek in the archives.)
CONGRATULATIONS, Vahini and Joan! Best wishes on a long and successful pairing.
This is Ms. Paquette's second signing from our blog, so I probably ought to start charging her commission. Or something. (I'm totally kidding. She knows I adore that she adores this blog.)
Isn't this a FANTASTIC kick-off to the weekend? Hooray!
That, and our first automated contest has run smoothly all week. If you haven't critiqued yet, you've got all weekend! You may have noticed that #43 has been disqualified. Having been slightly overwhelmed during the submission and fix-the-formatting process, I failed to notice that the genre for this entry was neither MG nor YA. Rest assured that the author was understanding and gracious, and there are no snarly feelings. Except, of course, for the fact that I hate having to do things like that.
So, please. Don't make me do mean things. Follow directions carefully.
And have a wonderful Friday-Saturday-Sunday!
Miss Snark's First Victim

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Its so fun to hear success stories and watch the hard work pay off.
ReplyDeleteIt took me this long to realize how instructive these Secret Agent contests are to me. It lets me see if my picks correlate with the secret agent's. If we're opposite n our reactions to some of the posting, I chalk that up as a possible no for my work.
