2. Thanks for the reminder

I think I'll enter again this year. My pitch got me through the first round last year and both my reviewers said they wanted to read more. I've changed the opening completely so it might be worth another try.

5. It's always worth another try. A lot of people who've entered have gone on to book deals or even

Amazon Encore.

I'd be pleased just to make it past the pitch stage!!!!

3. Great lead!

I'm going to enter my new novel, "Weep." I just published it but I still hold all the rights. I had an offer from a small publisher, but it was a terrible contract, so I just did it myself. So far, so good except that it's impossible to get press or reviews when you self-publish. This contest looks like a good opportunity.

4. The contest is fun. I enter every year and never make it past the pitch stage. It's not only skill

but luck with who you get to read your pitch.

Maybe this year I'll make the first pass.

Good luck with your book!
