ALSO, as a BONUS!! If you read NA fiction and are considering reading my debut FROSH (Oct 20, 2015), you can win a random query critique from Carrie.  
All you have to do is tweet saying why you'd like to read FROSH. 

Sample tweet: I want to read @Monica_BW 's FROSH because [ _reason + link to Goodreads

AGENT-JUDGED contest announcement!! =D

So. YAY! Another contest. Guess that by now you already know how much I love these, huh? Anyway. I’m going to host a contest with agent Carrie Pestritto of the Prospect Agency on 7/7/15. 

Click here to read her interview.

This will be a VERY selective contest—not every manuscript can participate. Now Carrie is actively looking for Diverse YA and NA books. If your manuscript fits that description, then you can participate. If not, then stay tuned for other contests in the future. 

Rules:

1) As I said above, this contest is ONLY OPEN for #WNDB. (Only FINISHED manuscripts.)

2) This is for unagented writers only.

3) On July 7, you should post your query pitch (not the whole query) on the comment section of the contest post (not this post). The entry should read like this:

-Your Name

-Title of your book

-Genre (i.e. Magical Realism YA with diverse characters, OR Contemporary NA with diversity, etc...)

-Word-count of your manuscript

-Your email

-The pitch (just the meat of the query)

-The first 250-ish words (don’t stop in the middle of a sentence).

4) Please, help me spread the word. I’m not going to haunt you if you don’t, but it’d make me REALLY happy if lots of people came to participate.

5) The contest will open at 8:00 a.m. EST on July 7, and will be open for 24 hours. 

Carrie Pestritto will request the mss she’d like to read. 

ALSO, as a BONUS!! If you read NA fiction and are considering reading my debut FROSH (Oct 20, 2015), you can win a random query critique from Carrie.  
All you have to do is tweet saying why you'd like to read FROSH.
