The Agent Round Begins

Today the #NoQS Agent Round begins! The contest is called Nightmare on Query Street, appropriately themed for Halloween, but also because many authors experience how difficult it is to write a query letter.

Please come cheer on my fellow authors who were selected to be on Laura’s Legions! We are on one of three teams and through tomorrow, on Halloween, literary agents are invited to come review the entries and request pages.

Many of us will be hitting REFRESH many times…

Here’s to another adventure in the writing world. May everything bring us closer or create an opportunity for learning and growth.

I wanted to thank my amazing mentor, Farah Heron, who worked with my project and helped me to look through a different lens so that we could get ready for today.

Please come take a look at my project, CURTAIN RISING. http://blog.lauraheffernan.com

CURTAIN RISING, is women’s fiction complete at 105,000 words, weaving together a dual point-of-view journey of a father’s cover up and a daughter’s pursuit of her past.

 

Contest Dreams!

I’m so thrilled to be selected on Laura Heffernan’s team for the Nightmare on Query Street contest! Authors were invited to enter and submit a query letter and first 250 words of our books.

All of the authors chosen are paired with mentors to finalize our submissions for the final reveal. I was lucky enough to have Farah Heron as my mentor for Curtain Rising. It has been an amazing experience and I’m so thankful for a different point of view.

On Oct 30-31st, our finals (only our query letter and first 250 words of the book) go live and 25 literary agents will review and request for more pages if they’re interested.

Please send any good thoughts, wishes and prayers if you have any extra 🙂

I will post more for a peek at my final submission when they go live. Stay tuned!
