Free-tique Contest with Agent Jennifer Jaeger of ABLA

cynthea · Oct 24, 2007

Hey everyone,

Well, where have I been? I've just discovered this message board and I'm so happy to have found yet another community of dedicated children's writers. If you haven't heard, Snoop (that's my rabbit) and I are conducting a free contest with my agent Jennifer Jaeger of the Andrea Brown Literary Agency. The deadline is only two days away, so if you've got something to send, please read the full details here.

Snoop looks forward to munching on your submission!

Thank you and welcome to the AW! Hi Snoop!

ETA - Nevermind, it helps if I click the right link!

The Grump · Oct 24, 2007

My MG WIP isn't finished, but it's nice of you to make the offer. Hope you don't get overwhelmed by entries.

seaaircarol · Oct 24, 2007

Thanks a lot for offering this. I am going to enter!

Susan Flemming · Oct 24, 2007

This looks like fun, not to mention the great prizes. Thanks for posting this and welcome to AW.

wyntermoon · Oct 24, 2007

Entered! Good luck to those who take the plunge!

Hi to Snoop from my bunny, Robyn.

I've got the perfect MS to submit. Hooray. I'll be sending that email tonight. :hooray:

brittanimae · Oct 24, 2007

I love it! I sent an MS in, and WELCOME to AW!

SinkFulloDishes · Oct 24, 2007

Welcome to AW! I'm just finishing edits on one manuscript, so I'll just work a little faster now, hahaha. There's a good reason for my screen name

.

I just started a MySpace account two days ago, so when you get a friend request from someone with no picture on their profile page, that's me. I'm still trying to find my way around the place, so we'll get there...eventually.

Melanie Lane · Oct 24, 2007

I just submitted one

MsJudy · Oct 24, 2007

I submitted mine, too. Now I have this creepy feeling, knowing I'm competing against all the lovely people I've spent the last few months encouraging....

I take back everything nice I ever said to anybody. I hope I win, so there.

LOL. Good luck.

Symphony · Oct 25, 2007

Oh, I'll definitely submit - up and ready for another round of my ms-bashing! I figure that if I take 5 bashes on board from every publisher, I'll get it right eventually!!!! Or not, of course, as the case may be, but there's always, ALWAYS hope!

Thanks a million for the link.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. Snoop is busy, busy, busy! Good luck!

MsJudy · Oct 25, 2007

p.s. can Snoop be bribed with cybercarrots?

SarahinOhio · Oct 26, 2007

Deadline is 11:59 CST tonight. Just in case anyone forgot!

seaaircarol · Nov 5, 2007

Hmmmmm. I wonder when the winners will be announced?

Anyone hear anything?

ETA: Cynthea just posted on her website that she's announcing the winners tonight.

TrishD · Nov 5, 2007

Winners are posted... but one of them was not me. :Shrug:

seaaircarol · Nov 5, 2007

Neither was I.

Any AWers win or final?

MsJudy · Nov 6, 2007

Snoop better watch out. My dog is feeling hungry for rabbit....

(nah, I didn't win, either.)

brittanimae · Nov 7, 2007

Nope not me. But I think it's an incredibly hilarious idea--bunnies picking mss. HAH!

Susan Flemming · Nov 7, 2007

Not me either.

The bunny picking manuscripts was a fun idea.

And the fun is the thing to remember about these kinds of contests and not take them as an indication of whether or not our stories have merit. What one person passes on, another may love.

Chicken Warrior · Nov 7, 2007

No luck here. I wonder how many subs there were.

SarahinOhio · Nov 8, 2007

I think she said there were about 270 of them. Snoop must have been a busy bunny.

I thought it was interesting that only one PB was selected. Too bad it wasn't any of ours.
