If you do not see a * by your name, this means you have not filled out the preview #2 post. Also, some names have no genre selections. Please do so before the sign up closes.

Here is what I have so far. IF you do not see your name here, or if you haven't not sent in your genre, PLEASE let me know! Also, if your  name is here, but is only listed as a Category (YA, MG, etc.)  please let me know the genre you are most interested. If you are undecided until you see the WISH LISTS, just let me know that! Thanks! I'm so excited you all have joined. I hope we meet, and exceed, your expectations!

      I had you on my list, but blogger wasn't saving my post very well. I had to keep clicking save. Apparently, blogger still didn't save. sorry about that!

      Julie, I'll let you in on a little secret. I don't know how this is happening, either! Shhhh!!!

      But I'm so excited! I've been putting it together for awhile now.

      I will try! Thanks for stopping by my blog. It's my pleasure to give a shout out. I think it's great what you and the agent's are doing.

    Thanks! I think I'm going to start something new, and I'm waiting for the wish lists before deciding on a genre. Probably MG contemporary realistic or MG urban fantasy, though.

    Same to you! Thinking about it, my book should be classified as NA, especially with the piece I just wrote. I hope this genre takes off.

    I saw where you said you hadn't finished updating the list so hopefully my name is one of the ones just not added yet (I only signed up yesterday). But I wanted to mention it just in case it got overlooked.

    I hope I didn't sign up too late to join in the fun. I'm really looking forward to this. :)

      You are fine! I have you down, but still working on the updates. I had some people drop out of my workshop and I've been busy trying to replace them and make up new schedules:)

    PLEASE tell me it is not too late to enter. I will be officially DONE with uni on Friday so this would fill my time nicely. You're such a gem for doing this and even though I haven't read the main post, it already sounds awesome! You can bet kittens I'll be signing up if you'll still have me? :D

    Hmm... there's no asterisk by my name, but I did fill out the survey in Preview Post #2, on Oct. 26. Maybe it's because here I'm listed as just Kate, but my posts use "ColoradoKate"? Should I redo the survey?

    I guess I'd better pick a genre, though... put me down for MG urban fantasy, please!

      No need for that! I'll make sure and change that. Thanks for letting me know.

    Hey so I think I know what genre mine is now! I've been looking around to figure it out and I'm fairly certain it would be a NA action romance... if that helps.

Operation Agent Ink

UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri...

Writer In Motion CP feedback

Hey beautiful guys and dolls! Here it is! My CP feedback edited story. Had a hard time with this, but I hope it makes sense. I've got a post I'm working on I plan to put up after Thanksgiving. Here ya go. Enjoy... Every morning I wake to carnival day.  Today, though, I have my key. If I don’t use it before midnight, my way of escape will gone. It’s a silver key with a twisted metal handle, a sapphire stone half moon and engraved stars. There’s a tiny inscription on the moon, but it’s so small, I’ve never been able to read it.I’ve always kept mine in my jewelry box, but today, I string it on a ribbon and tie it around my neck. My two best friends will be wearing theirs, too, and I wonder how they will escape this carnival of dreams. “What’s it for?” Cress asks as we stand in line for the swings. I run my fingertips over the entire silver surface. “I don’t know. It belonged to my grandmother,” I say. “Whatever.” She shrugs her shoulder in a dismissive way. “Have ...

Workshop 10

Today, let's get readers hooked from the very first sentence. If you do, you are off to a great start and hopefully a great first chapter. We are going to focus on the first and second sentence and how you can draw readers in while introducing two major items about your book: 1. Your MC 2. The main conflict. How? Is it really possible to do this in only TWO sentences? YES! Example: My name is Snow, like the white powder that falls during winter, though I don't know what my mom was thinking because it was ninety degrees the day I was born. I turned twelve the year I married a man I hated and thirteen when my first baby was born. This sentence tells us a lot. It shows us a little about Snow's personality, it hints toward a shortened childhood and could possibly point to a different time era. I also can definitely see the conflict. Can you? You only have a few minutes to make a good, first impression. Make sure you wow your reader enough they'll actually t...
