Would love to enter, but my novels are for 10 to 13 yr. olds and I live in the UK... :-(
Sounds like a great contest - good luck!
Good luck, Aubrie! I entered too. :)
Good luck to you! Mine isn't ready yet, so I can't enter this time around. But what a great opportunity!
Sounds really interesting. I'm thinking about it ... Thanks for letting us know.
Ah, I wish I could but I just sent a query to a publisher so I'll have to wait. Nice reminder that I should have more stuff written and ready to send. Wishing you luck!
Chuck Sambuchino's Lucky Agent contests are great. I entered Aura and The Mist Chasers.
Good luck, Aubrie!
I just heard about this over at Nicole's place! I'm in awe of this contest... and though my work isn't ready to submit I dream at the opportunity to one day have the opportunity again!
I'm so in. Thanks for posting this.
Wish I wrote YA :(
Sounds like a great opportunity - good luck!
I'm focussing on MG right now, but good luck!
I'm so there. Thanks for the info.
