Yesterday I read about this great event at "Cupid's Literary Connection" called "Blind Speed Dating Contest". Now, this is not about dating - it's about getting agents to see your work. It really looks like a great event and I plan to participate. I will be submitting my query and hope it gets past the first round "bouncers".
If you have a manuscript ready to go, why don't you join me? There are several weeks and you choose which week you want to submit depending on your genre. You can click on the names of the bouncers under each week to see if they are a part of the genre you are submitting. Click on the links above and check it out - this might be just what you need to take the plunge.
I am excited and terrified. Now I have to go work on my query!
My thoughts on life as a writer, wife, mother, child, sibling, aunt, reader, and woman.

Speed agent dating - now that's new!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sounds like a great event and Best Wishes on your submission!
ReplyDeleteI just popped over and took a look at it. Interesting. I was under the impression that you weren't supposed to post exerpts of your novel on the internet prior to getting published traditionally because of first publishing rights issues or whatever. Did I read that right that they want the first 250 words posted?
ReplyDeleteGood luck. As the advice suggested, I read it from top to bottom and I think it sounds like a great opportunity.
ReplyDeleteWhew! I was worried about that whole "Speed Dating" thing. I hear it leads to "Speed Humps." I see those signs on the road all the time.
