First of all, I want to express sincere thanks for each of you who took the time to leave critique for our 10 Blog Critique Tour authors. SO MUCH thoughtful critique! And I've gotten messages from thankful authors, letting me know how much the feedback has helped them.
As always, you are a shining example of what it means to be a community.
And now, here's the winner of the 15-page edit from AUTHORESS EDITS (that's me), chosen randomly from valid critique comments:
JK Wise
Congratulations, JK! Please email me at authoress.edits(at)gmail.com to set up your free edit.
Yay!

Blog Critique Tour!
Here it is, folks! Your opportunity to critique 10 excerpts on the authors' own blogs, while also being entered to win a 15-page critique from Authoress Edits. It's win-win!
While leaving your feedback for these brave writers, please observe the following:
1. Use a screen name OTHER THAN "Anonymous". I can't enter you into a drawing that way. Any entry signed "Anonymous" will not be included in the drawing.
2. Please be kind as well as honest in your critique. A little tact goes a long way!
3. Shout this out in your social media hang-outs! Let's support these authors and their blogs. (Also? If this is successful, we'll do it again. You might be the next author-with-a-blog hoping for traffic and critique!)
Each thoughtful critique that you leave equals one entry in the drawing, for a total of 10 possible entries. Please note: Leaving 1 sentence doesn't count. So if you go through the entries and leave, "I love this!" on each one, I won't include those in the drawing.
And now, without further ado, here are our 10 authors and the links to their blog posts. At the bottom of each post, you will find a link back to this page; that way, you can easily navigate to the next author's blog.
Have fun, everyone!

1. KATHLEEN S. ALLEN (YA Dark Contemporary)
2. GEORGE KULZ (MG Mystery)

Farewell...Plus a FUN ANNOUNCEMENT!
First of all, I'm leaving for a much-anticipated vacation on Wednesday. The blog will go dark (unless you decide to remain chatty in today's comment box, which would make me awfully happy!), and I will see you again toward the end of the month.
Once I'm back, we're going to do something BRAND NEW! Here's what's in store:
Introducing our first BLOG CRITIQUE TOUR
Let's face it--I'm not the only one around here with a blog. Here's a chance to get some solid critique on your opening page, PLUS get some traffic to your blog...PLUS be entered to win a free critique from me!
THE DETAILS:
1. You must have a writing-related blog on which you post a minimum of once a week.
2. You must have a CLEAN draft of a novel. (In short -- no first drafts, please!)
3. To enter, you will tweet your 128-character-or-fewer logline to #BLOGPITCH
4. I will choose my 10 favorite loglines.
5. The 10 winners will be invited to post their logline-plus-first-250-words ON THEIR OWN BLOGS.
6. I will post the 10 links on BLOG CRITIQUE TOUR DAY.
7. You can visit the winning blog posts and leave your critique.
8. Each critique you leave = 1 entry in a drawing for a 15-page line edit from AUTHORESS EDITS.
9. The authors of the winning entries may also critique to be entered in the drawing.
THE DATES:
TWITTER PORTION:
#BLOGPITCH entries to be tweeted from noon EDT on Monday, June 30 to noon EDT on Tuesday, July 1
Winners will be announced on Thursday, July 3.
Winners must send me the links to their blog posts by Sunday, July 6.
BLOG CRITIQUE TOUR:
Links to the 10 winning entries will post on my blog on Wednesday, July 9. Critiquing may begin immediately. All critiques posted by midnight on Friday, July 11 will be included in the drawing.
And that's the way we'll roll!
So, while I'm gone, WORK ON YOUR TWITTER-FRIENDLY LOGLINES!
(Note: All genres except erotica or erotic romance will be accepted.)
Questions? Leave them below! I'm still around for a couple more days.
Also? Spread the word! This is a fun way to support each other and grow our community of writers.
I'll see you all when I get back!
