I have to say, this is an amazing contest! HOW FUN! Good luck to all of the entrants :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a group! The Authoress is a hard working woman.
ReplyDeleteSo excited!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow - so, so fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI am beyond excited.
ReplyDeleteIt's too awesome that you're doing this. Thank you! Can't wait for the fun to begin. :)
ReplyDeleteA fantastic idea and a spectacular list. Authoress, you've outdone yourself. Advance thanks to all the participating authors, editor, and agents for all the time and hard work they're volunteering, and advance congratulations to the lucky winners (agents and authors alike!).
ReplyDeleteYeah! Can't wait, and can't say enough how excited I am for this! Thanks Authoress.
ReplyDeleteAuthoress,
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the informing all of us about this amazing contest.
Good luck to all!
Michael
This is an amazing opportunity, Authoress, and thank you!
ReplyDeleteHere's my question: what if you currently have material out with one or more of these agents? Am I disqualified? :(
So, so, so, excited!! What an excellent and big name cast!! I feel like I'm reading credits for a literary musical on Broadway.
ReplyDeleteOh, Authoress - you're super amazing!! Thank you for everything you're doing. I can't wait to submit.
Oh exciting. This looks so awesome. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteHave the date and time in my phone, ready to tell me to submit! This time I know how to please that nasty computer bot... :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Have you thought about one for nonfiction?
ReplyDeleteAnon -- That's your call. Whatever you're most comfortable with!
ReplyDeleteMcGurkus -- Thanks! And no, I haven't. The blog's focus is fiction, so that's what I'm sticking with. :)
This is all so fabulous. Good luck to everyone who enters this! :)
ReplyDeleteI've had trouble even getting into the logline crit sessions - so I'm going to attempt submitting both rounds (even if it means getting up at three in the morning!)
So very, very cool!! Amazing people on these lists!
ReplyDeleteI'm putting together a list of info on all the agents lists for the auction - blog url, online interviews, etc. If anyone would find the list helpful, I can upload it to my blog.
ReplyDeletejustwritecat: AWESOME! Send me the link (facelesswords(at)gmail) and I'll post it for all to see.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a line up. And just to get a crit from one of the fab authors and Stacy is definitely worth it. :D
ReplyDeleteWow, Authoress- I think you're going to be stocked up on good karma points after this. Thank you to you and to the authors, editor, and agents!
ReplyDeleteAs I see it, there is the potential of opportunity or of great humiliation in this contest.
ReplyDeleteThis is kind of like being the last one picked for the team in gym class.
**shiver**
I absolutely love what you do here!
ReplyDeleteHa ha to Huntress's comment! I had the same thought. But a great contest, nonetheless. Question - do you and Jodi recognize New Adult as a legitimate subgenre of YA? (Or would it be a subgenre of Adult....or just not included in this contest?) Thank you!
ReplyDeletethanks so much, this rocks! So can we submit something for the adult day AND something different for the YA day? I have two ready manuscripts?
ReplyDeleteAnon -- If it's not on the list, it's not included in the contest, regardless of whether or not Jodi and I think it's legit. ;) To my knowledge, there are no agents currently accepting New Adult. That will change eventually.
ReplyDeleteTheresa -- One submission per person. Better choose! ;)
