Finalist in Gival Press Novel Competition

Just Me 2021 · Sep 7, 2007

I just found out I am a finalist in the Third Annual Gival Press Novel Competition (in the top five)!

I didn't win, but getting in the top five sure made my day! It's the kind of validation I need, especially seeing as my agent will begin submitting to publishers any day now (we are doing a last sweep for typos before she starts subbing.) The manuscript we've got now is so much more polished than the draft I sent to the competition, so hopefully we can find a taker for it... Crossing my fingers!

Thanks for celebrating with me!
