And I guess I need to clarify for those of you to whom this may be new: I always ask for a lead-in when we do any crit round that drops us into the middle of a story. So don't worry about that; it'll be added to the maximum word count.
Anyway, well over half of the votes went to Drop the Needle, so that was a no-brainer. Rest assured we'll do the others again soon!
I'll post guidelines in a little while. Drop the Needles always have a specific focus, which will help you pick something out of your manuscript. So I've got to give that some thought first. Submissions will open later today. I will take 25 entries. (I know this number has lowered. I've had to make these in-house crits a bit more manageable. Hopefully this will lead to more frequent rounds. Secret Agent contests will remain at 50, always.)
Okay, I'll get back to you!

Question: If we enter this contest, does it exclude us from entering the next secret agent contest? I know you can only enter one secret agent contest within a 6 month period.
ReplyDeleteIs this going to have a really strong YA slant, as well?
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! :D
ReplyDeleteAnon -- No, it will not exclude you. In-house crits are a separate monkey. :)
ReplyDeleteMarian -- There is no way I could possibly know that, since the bot accepts the entries in the order in which they are received.
