Contests and Critiques
May

UncategorizedThere are a couple of contests with COOL prizes available. The first is at the Alliterative Allomorph’s blog. Head over there as she’s posted the competition to honor her first 200 followers and the competition will close when she reaches that milestone. Her prizes include a free critique of your first chapter, up to 20% off of an entire ms edit by a professional editior, critiques of queries or synopsis, or a gift card.
The second contest was announced at Query Tracker.net and if you’re not following them, you might want to check and see if you’re alive. (Have you recently been bitten by anyone with a thirst for blood or brains?) Seriously, follow them and get their newsletters. You won’t regret it. This is yet another “Dear Lucky Agent” contest and this time, it’s for writers of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Winners will receive an agent’s comments on their first ten pages plus a year’s subscription of Writer’s Market. WELL worth the effort.
Good luck in all your efforts!
Thanks for the heads up on these!
Thanks for alerting us to these contests Victoria.
You're welcome! Are you all entering?
Great post. Thanks for the heads up. I never used Query Tracker, but I like it. And the Alliterative Alomorph is a very cool blog–although I can never remember how to spell it.
Excellent! Thanks. You got two entries 🙂
Thanks for dropping in, Samuel. I really like Query Tracker for helping to find certain types of information and Agent Query, too. I actually use Author Advance/Litmatch. If I had more funds, I'd probably pay for the advanced version of QT as it's got some nice features.
Ooops, and thanks for dropping in and letting me know, Allomorph. ;D
Ooh, those sound wonderful!
Are you going to enter Yukionna, Dara? I entered mine last night. ;D
I'm so glad you posted this. I'd totally forgotten about that Lucky Agent contest and I really want to enter this one! Thank you!
Hm…I think my story can count as Science fiction! Though I'm not sure if they take YA? Oh well, time to check it out!
Glad I reminded you, Lisa. ;D
Kat, if I remember correctly the only thing he didn't want in this contest was MG. Ya should fly just fine. Good luck and congrats on the agent popping in the other day! That made me so excited for you!
I do love Query Tracker. I hadn't been there to hear of the contest, but I will check it out!
Good luck!!! 🙂
Thanks for dropping in, Rebecca and good luck if you enter!
Hey Vicki! Great post as always . . . and I mention you in a little blurb on my blog. 🙂
Thanks for the shout out, Janet!
I've entered several contests this week, but I'll click on the links. Thanks for posting these.
You're welcome, Medeia and good luck to us all! ;D
