WEbook Challenge News
Posted on April 16th, 2010 5 commentsSo, guess what?
My finely edited piece that I entered in the WEbook Page To Fame Challenge was ixnayed. However, my not-so edited piece (which does have a slightly flashier and more interesting first page) has been elevated to the next level. I’ve been asked to submit the next 5 pages for level 2 and two literary agents will be reviewing the first page. A critique partner of mine has already had her first page elevated on her submission as well as rated by literary agents. She says they just click the button–just like the average joe reviewers–and that you don’t get personal feedback. Nuts.
If this image is blurry, you need to drink less. I’m not judging, I’m just saying….Still, cool beans! It’s been worth the $5 entry fee in entertainment value alone.

I thought you’d get an actual comment or two! That kind of stinks! I didn’t enter it, but so many AQers did. What happens after this? Is there another level?

hi from WEbook!
Just wanted to let you know in the first round the comments by agents are optional…so you might get a comment…but its not required by the agent. Agents also note whether or not they want to “follow” the page…if they do, they will be notified as it moves through rounds.
Congrats on making it to the next round!

There is some great stuff on there! I hope something wonderful happens to a fellow AQer as a result of the WEbook contest.

Thanks for stopping by, Katie! I didn’t realize comments by agents are optional. Ooooh, I hope I get some comments! Even if they merely give me a hint on why it grabbed them–or where it did.
That’s cool that they can follow a submission as well. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
