Update From SMP Contest Winners-Lots To Be Thankful For!

[Georgia McBride]

JJ announced 18 winners last night. From that bunch, 7 have been referred to agents (by me). 1 has already secured an agent on her own (go on with your bad self)!

More updates coming soon!

Hmmm....good idea. There are a couple that I would really like so maybe I'll re-email them. I'll sleep on it, though. I did have the manuscript under consideration already with an agent and an editor so I emailed them to let them know about the win. They promised a quicker response than originally offered, so that's nice.

Sharon,

Not sure what to tell you on the agent front... On the one hand, it's great news that might make them more interested; on the other hand, you just emailed them, so they might be annoyed to receive more from you so soon... Maybe pick and choose? Email 3 and see how they respond, leave the other 3 alone?

Or maybe wait for Georgia's (or someone else's) advice. :P

So...I'm one of the lucky slobs amongst the winners. I was so busy working on my non-fiction book (first look is due tomorrow! Arggg) that I didn't check in on the winners. I just found out when JJ emailed me and totally made my Monday (love you, JJ!). As is my life, I had spent most of yesterday stealing time away from my non-fic work to submit to agents. I found six I really liked and emailed queries and such to them. Of course, no mention of my win (cause I didn't know). Should I email them back with the news?

Any thoughts? Anyone? Anyone?

Oh wow! Congrats to those peeps! I guess I gotta get me on the agent boat... (Lol not like I wasn't already thinking that.)

I name the three winners of TEMPTED by P.C. & Kristin Cast here! And the other winners, as well as what to do next.
