Completed manuscripts, I assume? Just making sure so I don't get all eager and enter. Good luck to everyone who does try for it.
Excellent point, Steph! I'll add that in right now. =)
Too cool! Thanks to you and Suzie for running this contest.
Oh my gosh, she's one of my dream agents! But I haven't written an adult book yet, so...
Yes! I can enter this one. Better start working on that pitch!
Thanks Suzette for the head's up.
