If you've written an adult book, it'll show even if you start with a protag in their young adult years. My advice: don't worry about it.Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767762370997304308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-77337924378156131042011-10-20T21:42:04.650-04:002011-10-20T21:42:04.650-04:00Tuesday I entered my adult hist fic into the Baker...Tuesday I entered my adult hist fic into the Baker's Dozen (at least I hope I did as I received the paypal confirmation) but I have a worry niggling at me. <br /><br />My first 250 is part of a brief prologue which takes place in the MC's childhood. My fear is that readers (agents, editors, my fellow writers) will think my story is labeled incorrectly--that they will believe it is YA or MG. <br /><br />Is this a valid concern or I am nibbling nails for nothing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-70778706738354129182011-10-20T19:36:05.861-04:002011-10-20T19:36:05.861-04:00Crud, I never saw the bit about putting the loglin...Crud, I never saw the bit about putting the logline in italics either!

I somehow missed the part about putting the logline in italics and paypal forced me to register/set up an account, which threw me off. So I may or may not have actually gotten in to the contest, but am looking forward to watching the submissions, the critiques, and the bids all play out anyway. This whole thing is caramel-ly awesomeness!
