The
Writer’s Voice Contest is a multi-blog, multi-agent contest hosted by Cupid of Cupid’s Literary
Connection, Brenda Drake
of Brenda Drake Writes, Krista
Van Dolzer of Mother. Write. (Repeat.) and Mónica B.W. of Love YA.
We’ve
based the contest on NBC’s singing reality show The Voice. So the four of us selected
projects for our teams based on their queries and first pages, and later, we coached
these talented writers as they polished their entries.
And TODAY we have
posted our team’s entries on our four blogs!
Eight
AMAZING agents are going to read the queries and first pages and then, on May
21st, they are going to vote for their favorites. Each vote will
count as a partial or full request depending on how many votes the entry
receives. If an entry receives 1 or 2 votes, those votes will count as partial
requests. If an entry receives 3 or more votes, those votes will count as full
requests.
The
fantabulous agents are:
BUT
that’s not all!
After the agents vote, the amazing Tara Dairman, author of THE DELICIOUS
DOUBLE LIFE OF GLADYS GATSBY (coming from Penguin/Putnam in 2014), will comment
on all the entries and give her awesome feedback.

About commenting on the
entries:
Cheerleaders are
allowed. But only until Sunday! We want to
leave the comment section free for the agents to vote on Monday.
And
we will only accept, well, cheerleading. No criticisms before the agents vote. And
please don’t leave messages to the agents, either. As in, “Trust me, you want
this one!” (Though we know how tempting that sounds! =D)
Happy
reading!
