Exciting! I'm guessing there will be another waiting club, like last year?
Ah, I wish they had kept it as Epic Fantasy. My novel definitely fits into that genre, but can't be said for classic fantasy. Oh well, maybe next year. Looks like I'll have to get published the good ol' fashioned way.
Good luck to everyone who is entering!
So who knows, maybe you still qualify.you might describe it as high fantasy, epic, magical, low, classic, medieval, or whatever
Just f##king send it and let them decide if it fits.
I have a question about this sentence from their submission rules (if anyone knows definitively one way or the other):
"A full synopsis of the novel, including brief descriptions of the major characters."
Does anyone know if that means they want a synopsis and a character list, or do they want the characters described inside the body of the synopsis?
I'm leaning towards the character list and synopsis...
lol.Just f##king send it and let them decide if it fits.
yes.Then make sure to sub it to Strange Chemistry, the YA imprint, and NOT Angry Robot. Strange Chem is looking for all flavours of SFF, not just classic fantasy.
RO-BOT ROLL-CALL! (**high-fives all the MST3K fans**)Anyone submit anything yet? I'm doing one last edit of my synopsis when I get home from work, a last read-through of my first 15K, and sending it in...
**high-fives Filigree** Congratulations! Double-squee!I'm not in. The mms is getting trimmed, then sent to an agent. Per agent request. Squee.
When I submitted, I included both a two-page synopsis of the book and a 2-3 sentence description of each of the major characters. Not saying that's the only way to do it, but it worked for me.I have a question about this sentence from their submission rules (if anyone knows definitively one way or the other):
