GUTGAA Agent Contest

Hey everyone! It's ALMOST time! It's almost here!

Tomorrow, the Agent Contest portion of the GUTGAA begins. There will be two submission windows, one in the late morning and one in the early afternoon. I have been waiting for this week since July. I hope I make it into the first selection because if the first round judges don't pick your entry, you won't get in front of the agents in the next round.

Are you pitching tomorrow?

    Of course! I've had the email all formatted and ready to go since Monday. Now we'll see if my button-pushing skills are up to snuff. My mouse is acting kinda funny. Good luck! :)

    I'm all ready to go. It'll be either 3am or 8am Saturday over here.

    I have no idea how well I'll sleep knowing that. You'll find me up before 8am, that much is for sure. ^_^

    Just don't take anything to calm your jitters and help you sleep. Tylenol PM puts me to sleep in a dead silence. Don't want to miss that alarm clock in the morning!

    I'm so ready to go. 1am or 6am - I'll have my pitch in there somehow. And if it ends up in the second batch and doesn't get selected, that just means I have to give it a little more work. All this feedback is amazing!

    Good luck to everyone! I won't be any competition for the inbox -- manuscript isn't complete. Hey, Ink in the Book, this is probably really bad timing, but I just tagged you. Sorry.
    If you're interested, go to my blog, copy the questions and answer on your blog and then tag someone else.

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...

The Writers Voice Entry

How excited am I? Can't you hear me laughing and squeeing, right there where you are? Yep! I'm excited! I made it tot he first round of the Writers Voice!! So today, I've posted my entry, here int his blog post, for the coaches to come around and read and decide if I'm ready to move on to the next round. Keep your fingers crossed for me PLEASE:) The entry I'm posting as went through numerous rounds of edits and revisions to get it where it is already. I've cut, squeezed, rearranged and replaced so much, I think my brain is on fire! I've changed names, combined characters, cut characters, and I've changed titles a couple of times and agonized over my genre until I cried . I've put th e first three chapters through a couple of workshops and had feedback from a few agents, so I'm sure I 've got the results I wanted. (I can be honest, can't I?) So, here we go, you beautiful guys and dolls. Feel free to leave any comments that might ...

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Hey everyone! I'm taking a quick break from vacation to introduce myself and say hi! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and meeting some new friends! -Where do you write? I live in a camper. My writing spot? Usually in bed. But sometimes I get a chance to write in the "living room" but that's rare. When I am at home (yay!) I have my own little office:) I love m space there and I can write during the day light hours. Oh, who am I kidding! That's rare. -Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see? My husband. Yeah, he sleeps with me! -Favorite time to write? At night. When it's quite. Aaahhh. Sweet quite. -Drink of choice while writing? Depends on the time of day I get to write. In the morning, coffee, coffee and more coffee. (with Creme Brulee creamer!) Afternoon it's iced coffee. After school, it's Dr. Pepper. Night it's water. -When writin...
