Last Minute Contest!

There's only a little time left to enter this contest, but I had to tell you about it anyway.

Sarah LaPollo at Glass Cases is an associate agent at Curtis Brown, Ltd. She's giving away manuscript submissions and query critiques as prizes on The Siren Song, Renae Marcado's blog.

All you have to do to enter is follow both blogs and leave your novel's pitch in the comments section of Renae's blog.

Here's what Sarah's interested in:

I’m looking for character-driven novels, mostly. The genres I’m most interested in are literary fiction, urban fantasy, magical realism, paranormal romance, and young adult, particularly older YA or crossover.
This reminds me of some of your books, which is why I had to post about this!

Hurry! The contest closes at midnight Kansas time, so polish those pitches. (And even if you miss this contest, I'm sure Sarah would be a great person to query down the road.)

Good luck, everyone!

    Oh, and I just gave you the same award Myrna did. Can't help it if we both think you're indispensible...

    This sounds like such a good contest. Too bad you aren't entering. That's doubly nice of you to share the link!

    Lydia, I have a confession to make. I did enter anyway. Sometimes I'm crazy like that. :) I know my chances of winning are very slim because there are so many great pitches out there, so it will probably be okay.... :D
