Pam van Hylckama Vlieg (Larsen Pomada Literary Agents)
Interests: "High concept young adult in any genre. Middle grade in these genres: fantasy, science fiction, dystopian, paranormal, literary. Romance in these categories: historical, fantasy, and erotica. New genres:
commercial science fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction. New Adult in all categories will be considered.
I am now open to submissions in upmarket women’s fiction and historical fiction. I’m looking for books with particularly well-developed characters and strong authorial voice. In historical fiction in particular I am particularly interested in books that bring the setting to life and that maintain balance between historical accuracy and strong plot choices. I am also very interested in mystery, fantasy, and occasionally romance approaches to these genres as well." - Please check the links above for more information.

ReplyDelete$9 Is bidding against yourself allowed? It doesn't seem fair because this one has been wide open until now and someone could have come in and just bid against themselves up to 30 without a problem.
ReplyDeleteBidding against yourself is only allowed for the last bid. Otherwise, no one would want to bid the second to last bid.
DeleteTHanks!
Wow, you are quick on the draw, Cupid. Thanks for the clarification :) And you're right, we had a regular old standoff on Pam's last appointment.
DeleteAnd thank you, Cupid, for removing the captcha for the bids. It's making it a little bit faster and easier.
DeleteSee what happens when you're busy typing. $13
ReplyDeleteI think you can only bid against yourself if you placed the bid that took you to $27

Whew. Margie, I'm sorry, honey. Can we still be tweeps?
ReplyDeleteOf course! However, if you end up with a book deal, I'll need a mention ;)
Delete"To Margie, who was fatally wounded at the Battle of Mt. Olympus. No one could ask for a more loyal compadre."
DeleteLOL. Not fatally, I live to fight another fight :)
DeleteW00t! Am @Saille on twitter, btw. Found your blog but not your twitter handle.
