My genre is Upmarket Women's Fiction, but the first 250 words is rough, emotionally speaking.

The contest at the end of 2013 if I'm lucky, and then querying will being in 2014.<br /><br />Here's my question: You say the original contest had 13 agent judges, but that seems to imply subsequent contests have not. How many Baker's Dozen contests have there been, and how many judges have there been in past years?<br /><br />And a huge THANK-YOU for hosting this. I'm excited already.
