CONTEST CLOSED!
Hello, everyone! Is spring in the air where you are? I hope so. It’s warming up nicely here, and now that Angela and I have polished off two very important deadlines, I’ve got time to get back to first pages. I think I’ll be critiquing this month’s winners on the front porch :).
If you’re working on a first page and would like some objective feedback, please leave a comment that includes:
1) your email address. Some of you have expressed concern about making your email address public; if you’re sure that the email address associated with your WordPress account is correct, you don’t have to include it here. But if you do win and I’m unable to contact you through that email address, I’ll have to choose an alternate winner.
2) your story’s genre (no erotica, please)
ONLY ENTRIES THAT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED
Three commenters’ names will be randomly drawn and posted tomorrow. If you win, you can email me your first page and I’ll offer my feedback. Best of luck!
