As promised, here is a public critique opportunity for those over-300 of the original Baker's Dozen entrants, thanks to the generous K. T. Crowley!

Details from K. T.:

Please send submissions to ktcritiques[AT]gmail.com by 10 PM EST Saturday night, December 15.   I will post them Monday morning, December 17, at KTCROWLEY.COM for critiquing. A maximum of 50 entries will be accepted.

In the subject line, please state “BD ENTRY”.

Submit your logline and first 250 words just like when submitting to Miss Snark's First Victim. Your submission should look like this:

TITLE: Your Title Here
GENRE: Your Genre Here

(Logline and first 250 here.)

A confirmation email will be sent, but it may not be right away. Only resend if you don't get one by the last hour of the submission window.

If you enter, please critique five other entries, so that it's fair for everyone.

    What Amy said. I already revised my opening because I hated it sooooo much!

  5. Thank you, Amy and Authoress, for the question and answer about sending revised work. I took your advice about not starting a book before building sympathy for the protagonist. I also re-wrote the logline. The only thing that remains the same is the title, but you've helped me improve the overall story. Thanks for this second opportunity. Congratulations to the auction winners.
