Call for Submissions: FIRST KISS

Hey, everyone!  Today's the day!  Submissions open at noon Eastern for our First Kiss critique session.

Guidelines:

• Send your 250-words-or-less FIRST KISS scene, preceded by a 50-words-or-less LEAD-IN.
• THE LEAD-IN IS IMPORTANT - it lets us know where we are in the story (*see below).
• All genres EXCEPT erotica or erotic romance will be included.
• Submit your entry HERE.
• Submissions will open on MONDAY, JANUARY 29 at NOON EST.
• Submissions will remain open until MIDNIGHT (12 hours).
• The bot will choose FIFTEEN ENTRIES at random to be posted on the blog.
• Winning entries will post for public critique on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1

*EXAMPLE OF LEAD-IN:

Tina and Blane have been trapped in the elevator for four hours.  He's been reading a novel in the corner while she's been trying to find a way out.  Finally, she can't take it any more.

And remember:

Authors PIPER DRAKE and HOLLY BODGER, who are both very good at (writing) kisses, will be on hand to offer their critique.  You don't want to miss this opportunity!
