I just got a call letting me know Honorable Intentions placed in the top five (considered a finalist, but not first place – which is good, since publication is tied to that award, and I’m sure my agent is shooting for over an $1,000 advance) in the Novello Press Novel Competition. This is my second time placing in a novel contest, so I'm pretty psyched.
If nothing else, it's validating to know someone besides my agent and I like the book. We're still working on revisions before submitting to publishers.

That's a great accomplishment! Congratulations and best of luck.
