Whew! I'm glad the public voting is over for now. I really enjoyed this process. The next step is finding out if I've gotten enough votes to make it into round 2. Right now the Editors will be going over the 25 with the highest amount of votes and picking the 3 Wild Card entries. Then those 28 will have to submit our full manuscript which will be judged by the Editors. They will pick 3 to be put online for public voting again.
The winner will be given a contract.
But never say never...The Editors may contact any author "after" the contest ends to possibly buy. They've stated that last year they purchased 6 stories after the contest ended.
So tonight I will get a good nights sleep. I've stayed up until 3am every night for a week editing and polishing my manuscript in hopes of a request!
Sweet Dreams Everyone! Keep Writing and Keep Smiling!
Just found your blog! It is a great idea, and I am in a similar boat aside from me deciding to self publish. Working on the book cover right now. SHould have a few to choose from this week. Would be great have some advice from a fellow writer :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you make it to round 2!
Hi! Thanks for your comment! I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. I've been dealing with some very difficult things, my dearest friend of 32 yrs was ill and I went to help her until she went to fly with the angels. Now I'm getting back out here and I want to keep the blog going!
DeleteSo I didn't make it to round 2. Did You? I hope you did!
I would love to keep in touch and hear how you are doing with your writing now.
Happy New Year! Keep Writing and Keep Submitting!
