Be An Agent for a Day
Posted on April 13th, 2009 No commentsHoly Poop!
I had forgotten. Literary agent Nathan Bransford is holding a ‘Be An Agent for the Day’ contest where folks try to pick the 5 queries that are from published authors and which are not.
Well, not only did I forget that I had zipped off my query for his contest’s slush pile, but I actually got picked. A friend over at AQ brought it to my attention and by the time I got over there, guess what? 109 comments on my query!
Wow! Amazing!
I will let you know which one it is when the contest is over as the queries are to be anonymous.
