Nothing. Not a guarantee they're in the contest. Just a promise that maybe an agent might bid on the right to read some work. There is no first place, no real prize. <br /><br />How is this any different than Author House promising to get books under the noses of editors?<br /><br />There are ways to make this an ethical contest.<br /><br />Please do not do this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-68944497738100771662011-09-16T09:30:16.572-04:002011-09-16T09:30:16.572-04:00Interesting info!

(I assume it would need to be a different manuscript.)<br /><br />Are past SA winners, same manuscript, eligible to enter? Last year they were, I checked last year's announcement to be sure, but one of your comments above makes me think now they might not be. <br /><br />http://misssnarksfirstvictim.blogspot.com/search/label/Baker%27s%20Dozen%20Agent%20Auction?updated-max=2010-10-28T08%3A27%3A00-04%3A00&max-results=20Melindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-37605514419560593762011-09-14T20:47:53.289-04:002011-09-14T20:47:53.289-04:00How can we pay the entry fee?
