Yeah! You read that right!
But you might be asking, “Uh, third place in what?”
Miss Snark’s First Victim August Secret Agent Contest, that’s what!
The ‘secret agent’ was revealed earlier this morning: Cameron McClure, of the Donald Maass Literary Agency!
I’m stunned – she is at the top of my intended submission list! I had actually planned to start querying by the end of the month.
Entrants for the contest were to submit the first 250 words of a completed novel. Submission windows were limited in both time and number of entries. A total of forty-four entries were submitted.
There were a number of great ones. I’m hoping the other winners will announce soon who they were – I’d love to visit their sites to see more of their writing!
In the meantime, I’m off to do my happy dance!
loads of happy dances this week.
I love sharing in those.
Congrats!
Thank you, Donna! I’ve been so busy revising my query that I haven’t had time to check out the other winners’ blogs. I’m glad that Cameron had so many honorable mentions – there were some really good pieces in the contest and I’m glad I wasn’t the one having to choose the winners.
Mega congrats on getting third in the contest! And that’s so cool that she was on the top of your list – funny how things work out sometimes, isn’t it? I had a great time in the contest, I was one of the honorable mentions (#6) so it was pretty awesome for me too. 🙂
The prince story! I loved it! It was one of my favorites! I could so see him standing there in his peasant clothes in regal defiance.
Thanks for stopping by, Bethany, and congrats to you too!
Roh – You Rock. Your critiquing of my stuff must be paying off. I just got the Xomba quote of the day! Not exactly a Nebula award but I’m happy. Visit here: http://www.xomba.com/user/allen_james_100

Yay for you! That is so awesome. Congrats on the placing.
