I got the error of the header causing the rejection of my piece (although I typed it myself instead of copying), but was somehow able to recopy, cut out a sentence and resend and STILL make it in the window.
May I suggest that your clever programming guru create a program in which a hearty biceped arm reaches out of my screen and waps me over the head while saying: submissions are open, press send, you idiot!
That was quick. Is it some kind of record?
ReplyDeleteMy clock still showed 12:00 when I hit send and the number I got was halfway through the list already.
Either everyone has a new novel to shop, or this agent is really something :)
Sher, I'm guessing the contest filled up so fast because the agent reps really popular genres (especially on this site). Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteAuthoress, does the second window open at 6:00 Eastern or 7:00?
Thanks for this authoress.
ReplyDeleteOy! 7:00! Thanks, Krista. *changing*
ReplyDeleteGAHHHH
ReplyDeletemissed it. I misread the time for contest, thought it opened at 2 eastern.
*smacks forehead*
Huntress! You have another chance later!

ReplyDeleteI have no idea how.
Obviously you were meant to be in this round. :)
ReplyDeleteI must be having a brain freeze because I can't see (or remember) what I am supposed to put in the subject line of the email.
ReplyDeleteSubject line doesn't matter. Just don't use "RE:" in it, or the bot will think you are replying to an email and will reject you.
ReplyDeleteSo could I leave the subject line blank when I try at 7.00PM?
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm not sure why you would want to leave it blank. Honestly, I don't know if my guru has it programmed to not like that or not.
ReplyDeleteJust put anything descriptive there. It doesn't matter; I don't see the emails.

This is a lot of fun, even though I think I was bounced for word count...will try again next time!
