Yay! I won a contest! :D

It's been a good writing news kinda week!

I found out last night that I won the Utica Writer's Club's critique contest! Yaaaay! They made their decisions based on the query letter and first 250 words of the entrants' manuscripts. I'm so excited that they chose mine as the winner in the fantasy category!

So now I've won a critique of the first 5 pages of my book by a published author. I'm so excited!

You can read all the winning entries in all 10 categories on Jordan Mierek's blog. And feel free to comment on them; you all know how we aspiring authors love constructive criticism!

And thank you so much, to Jordan and to the Utica Writer's Club! This is the first writing contest I've won, and I'm SO excited! :D

Send me your synopsis!

If your synopsis is short enough to escape the gravitational pull of my impatience (less than 1,000 words), send it my way and I'll do my darndest to smash it into little pieces for you.

My query skills are sorely lacking, so do yourself a favor and keep them away from my person.

I'm just a fellow writer who can offer a fresh perspective. I can't promise you'll like it more, or that it will be the turning point in your writing career, but it will at least be objective.

By sending it to me, you give me permission to reprint it and edit, critique, and possibly rewrite it on this blog. My intentions are just and pure, but there's no contract between us. You can always change your mind; just send me another email and I'll take it down or not post it at all.

Send 'em to:

I reserve the right to delete any and all comments/content I wish.
