And here are this month's winners, straight from the agent's mouth:
Thank you so much for having me. This really was an excellent batch of pages; I was deeply impressed. I tried to be blunt in my responses in hopes that it would be helpful, but truly, I don't think I came across a single one I would have called bad. It's so much a matter of personal preference, but I thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to consider their work.

ReplyDeleteI also wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to critique my entry and to the Amy Boggs for taking the time to give her feedback. It was all valuable and I look forward to incorporating many of the suggestions.

ReplyDeleteI just want to again thank you, Authoress, for creating such an amazing place for folks to get their work seen, share comments, and expose us to a wide range of agents.
ReplyDeleteIt’s very enlightening to read the agent’s responses- it lets us as writers see beyond the webpage bio for an agent- a little bit of who they really are. You really are an amazing person to do all this work for us :).
And congrats winners! :)
Congrats and good luck!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats, all!
