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!

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.)

Thanks for the opportunity! *crosses fingers and toes*
I’ve recently learned that thesauruses is correct. Which is nice, since thesauri always felt pretentious to me ;).
Maybe this time ……
