Thanks so much to all who participated, and thanks to Authoress for taking the time to host this contest every month!
Please note that while there were several posts where I commented that I would, indeed, read more, I've chosen to limit the prizes to those who really did stand out the most. Of course if you'd like to query me in the future, please feel free by visiting our web site. That being said, there are a few of you who already have either been rejected by me OR who have partials/fulls with me - note that my comments were strictly about the 250 words you posted and NOT in reference to what I have read in the past / have yet to read.
Also please note that this is a very subjective industry. It's quite clear by the wide variety of opinions after each post that not everyone shares the same tastes. Same with agents. So note that if I said it wasn't for me, I'm sure it may appeal to someone else.

I also wanted to thank everyone who commented on #30. I appreciate that so much. I'm glad I didn't gross you out too much. I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Secret Agent, Kathleen, you made my day with your feedback. Thank you so much.
What a fun week this was.
CLAP!

CLAP!
This is a clapping reply. No injuries were sustained but the claps were loud and enthusiastic all the same.
It's for all of us. For the blog, the agents/editors and for the participants who all come together to make the experience here so pleasant.

Congratulations to the winners! Thanks, SA, for taking the time to read the entries and write all the comments. Thanks to all of the readers for offering your insight and critiques for my first page. You have brought up many things I hadn't considered and have made me look at my work in a totally different way. And thank you, Authoress, for all your hard work putting on this contest! Miriam (#57)
