They're up! They're up!
All entries are open for public comment/critique during the judging rounds. Please be polite and somewhat professional. Which means rah rahs are permitted. Yay!
If there are any issues with your entry, please email me. (cupidslitconnection@yahoo.com)
You may notice I tweaked a few minor things with some of the entries. Don't panic. I want to keep the entries as tight as possible, so redundant info like genre and word count were deleted. It's at the top of your entry! Also, I can't permit websites and Twitter names. Sorry.
All but two of the judges are splitting their judging between the two weeks. Which means we have a CHANGE OF PLANS. No winning entries for the agent round will be announced until the 15th!!!! This is only fair. Sorry for the wait. Stinks, I know.
Here is how the judging will work. Please be polite and professional with the judge assigned to your entry! Or you'll get the boot! Promise.
Name Entry #s
Erica 1-10
Susan 11-15
Elizabeth 16-20
Julie M. 21-25
Taryn 26-30
Jennifer 31-35
Julie S.D. 36-40
Rick 41-45
Lindsay 46-50
They will read their assigned entries this week and offer critique. Then they will do the same next week. They will then notify me of their top 4 choices and those will be announced on the 15th!

Anybody? LOL

ReplyDeleteI'm sensing a theme.
This is always the case. Where are all the adult authors, huh?
DeleteIs it a reflection of what's selling, or is it an indication of what people are writing nowadays?
DeleteBoth.
