QueryTracker posted this on their blog last week but I missed it until today.

Someone represented at FinePrint just got a deal for her book and is running a context to celebrate.

Prizes are pretty amazing.
1 Lucky Winner will receive a critique of their first 30-40 pages by the fabulous Suzie Townsend + a pack of Twizzlers + a copy of Hex Hall

3 Lucky Winners will receive a query letter critique by one of these three agent extraordinaires: Kathleen Ortiz, Joanna Stampfel-Volpe, or Colleen Lindsay (One agent will be randomly assigned to each winner.)

1 Winner will receive a writer's survival guide consisting of Twizzlers, a copy of Silver Phoenix and When You Reach Me, and a cute notebook and pen so you're never tempted to do this:

1 Lucky winner will score a lunch date with THE Janet Reid and THE Suzie Townsend. Um, yeah, that's not a typo. (I'm tempted to enter myself. Would it be so wrong?) Unfortunately, this is not a free trip to NYC. BUT if you live in the NYC area, or whenever you're visiting NYC? You. Janet. Suzie. LUNCH.
Contest finishes tomorrow and so far there are only 263 entries so your chances might be really good! Sign up here

I signed up :) Good luck!

Dang, this really sucks that I'm only on my first draft. I would enter in a second. But alas, I have a long way to go before I think about stuff like this. Thanks for the link though! Some people are going to be really lucky!

Do you happen to know if the winner who gets their pages critiqued might get to send them the rest of their manuscript?

It's a contest for critique, not an official submission. Who cares if you're at 1s draft? Even a first draft critique by actual agents is worth GOLD PLATED IN DIAMONDS! :)

Enter the contest!
