Don't enter this contest because I want to win it!
Listen to this: Author Deborah Halverson (HONK IF YOU HATE ME and BIG MOUTH) is offering her critique expertise in a contest at her blog, Dear Editor. Before writing her own books, she was an editor at Harcourt, so she clearly knows her stuff. To enter the free edit contest, follow the rules listed on her blog. http://dear-editor.com/
You can earn chances to win simply by emailing her on her blog, subscribing to her blog, and by electronically posting about her contest on your own blog, FB page, etc.
So, as much as I'd like you to think that I'm being generous by telling you about this screamin' deal, I must confess, I am only posting because I want an extra shot at winning the edit. I NEED to win! THE GRAY MAN is still under consideration with some big houses, but if Agent W needs to start a new round -- fingers crossed she won't have to -- I'd love to have further expert advice on the ms.
Even if you aren't entering the contest, either because you love me and want me to win or because your own ms isn't ready, Dear Editor is still a great resource to add to your bookmarks.
