Lotsa Winners!!

Drum roll, please!


THIRD PLACE: a tie between #15: Watcher, and #44: Bowe's Major

THE PRIZE: Ms. McClure would like to read your first 50 pages or the closest break.

SECOND PLACE: #4: The Mistake

THE PRIZE: Ms. McClure would like to read your first 50 pages or the closest break.

FIRST PLACE: #36, Jake, Son of Zeus

THE PRIZE: Ms. McClure would like to read your first 100 pages or the closest break.

Wait, there's more!!

In Ms. McClure's own words (emphasis mine):

Overall I was very pleased with the quality of these submissions, which was much better than what I generally find in my query pile. In addition to the four winners I've chosen, I would also be open to reading material from the following entrants: #6, #10, #17, #18, #20, #31, #37, #41, and #43. I'd love to see 20ish pages from these writers.

Just to be clear, I won't be giving detailed editorial feedback on these submissions, but I will be quite seriously considering them for representation.

CONGRATULATIONS, everyone! Winners, please email me at facelesswords(at)gmail.com for submission instructions.

  7. I'm such an idiot sometimes. I was so busy doing my happy dance that I neglected to congratulate the other winners and honorable mentions.

    There were some truly fascinating openings in this contest. Three of my favorites are the other winners, along with a number that placed in the honorable mentions.

    Congratulations to everyone who participated, and thanks again to Authoress and Cameron for hosting such a great contest!
