What does this mean?
Well, in the coming weeks, this is what you're in for:
WEDNESDAY SUCCESS STORY SHOWCASES: Each Wednesday from now until right before submissions open, I will be showcasing one of our BAKER'S DOZEN WINNERS from previous years. Bring popcorn! It's super exciting to see what past winners are up to now.
PARTICIPATING EDITORS AND AUTHORS: Keep your eye out for the announcement (and showcase) of this year's editors and published authors, who will be critiquing the entries.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF OUR PARTICIPATING AGENTS: All 20 of them! Yes, 20. I can smell the blood already.
3 LOGLINE CRITIQUE ROUNDS: This is to help you get ready to enter the Baker's Dozen, which requires a logline in addition to your first 250 words.
HEADS UP: Submissions for the first LOGLINE CRITIQUE ROUND will be this coming Monday, September 22. The submission window will be open from 9 to 5 EDT, and the bot will randomly choose 40 entries after the close of submissions. I will post detailed submission instructions on Thursday.
The official Baker's Dozen Agent Auction schedule is RIGHT HERE.
This is our FIFTH BAKER'S DOZEN, folks -- FIFTH! Worthy of some hoopla, yes?

Is it really EDT for closing time? Last time I noticed that although the note said EDT, the submissions closed MDT. Just curious, and thanks...

ReplyDeleteHoopla! :)
ReplyDeleteYou didn't get much hoopla because everybody ran to their computers to get busy writing, me included!
ReplyDeleteSo here's a big WOO-HOO for BD 2014 and all the work you do for us. We love you!!!
Awwww, thanks, DJ! ***hugs***
ReplyDeleteAnon -- It's always EDT for closing time. During the last contest, I made a mistake when I created the contest. The reason the submission form is in MDT is because that's where my programmer lives. So if the contest is announced as closing at 5 pm EDT, the submission form will say 3 pm MDT. It's the same time. :)
On the EDT/MDT, it was 4:30 here, EDT, but the form wouldn't let me submit- that's why I was curious. I'll just try to get around earlier next time!
ReplyDeleteAnon -- Yes, I know; that's because I made a mistake when I created that contest. It was my fault; it wasn't a time zone discrepancy. :)
ReplyDeleteCan I submit a novel that has a new beginning even if I submitted it to the baker's dozen two years ago (2012)?
ReplyDeleteIf it's been revised, then, yes, Mark!
