I won something.
28 Oct 2011 04:33 pmMiss Snark's First Victim, a blog, runs contests every month or so where aspiring writers submit the first 250 words of their novel for a secret agent to read and decide if they like it. It's a very popular contest, so the entry procedure is a lottery. The entrants fill out a web form, and they get a code. The magic computer selects a number of them, and voila.
I entered this month, and my number came up in the lottery.
And the agent picked mine as a bronze winner, so she now has my one-page synopsis (edited with the help of someone on twitter, because I got exactly ZERO comments on it here, thank you all) and the first 25 pages of my novel.
Also, I just want to say to the beta reader who trashed my novel, The writing is solid, you have a good balance so that I feel I know the setting but am not overwhelmed by details, and the last line has a good hint of something exciting about to start. Ha, Mr. N. J.
