PEOPLE! Both volumes of The Setting Thesaurus are being uploaded for proofing AS WE SPEAK! These books have been in the works for almost two years and we’re so excited to be able to offer them to you this June. If you want to stay up-to-date on these publications and the ensuing launch awesomeness, feel free to sign up here.

CONTEST CLOSED!

In the meantime, now’s a good time to do some critiques, before the final weeks of craziness kick in. 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!

    Ok. Random.org has spoken, and it has declared Hannah White, Darlene Foster, and Rachel as the winners for this round. Thanks for entering, everyone, and for spreading the word. See you next month!

    Hi Becca,
    You weren’t clear on the number of entries… and I’m finalizing seven short stories, so I’ll enter with a “your choice” genre selection…

    2) Adult Genres choices w/Title:
    Tragedy (“Life-long Companion”);
    SciFi (“Opportunity”);

    Horror Humor (“Button Lip”);
    Literary Fiction Adventure (“Vacation Destination”)
    Romantic Thriller (“Infatuation”) {a bit explicit}

    Ditto to the excitement of the new thesauruses. Let’s see if my library gets them, perhaps I will give them a little nudge and put in a request.

    I’m sorry I’m being a ditz. Would you delate my posting? I’ll repost the way everyone else is doing it.

    I’m just taking things so literally this week. /facepalm

    I’d love to win this! And you know I love me some Becca/Angela Thesaurus-es!! (Shiny moment question: Is it Thesauri…what is the plural of thesaurus? Hmmm.)

    2. Women’s fiction with a side helping of romance.

    Thanks for the opportunity! *crosses fingers and toes*

    Looking forward to the e-books. I subscribe to One Stop but like having them all on my kindle too…

    THanks!!

  21. Patricia Hansen says

    I would love a critique of my first page — a Historical Novel: The Glorious Revolution 1685 (re: the deposed King James of England and accession of William of Orange as King of England.)

    Also, looking forward to the Settings Thesaurus.

    Looking forward to the new Thesaurus. I’ve got all the others and use them constantly.

    I just edited my first page not too long ago, so I’d love some feedback on it. 🙂
