I’ve missed this opportunity the last two times this call opened up because I was on vacation. Boy was I mad! But this time I’m all ready to go. Yay!
Breathless Press (Adult) and Lycaon Press (YA) are opening up for a “Tender Love Critique Session” on February 14th (Valentine’s Day) until midnight EST Sunday, February 16th.
Send your first five pages **Times New Roman, 12 pt font, double spaced** in .rtf or .doc format (no .docx) to critiques@breathlesspress.com
The cool thing is that you don’t have to be one of the first 10 or even the first 100 to enter. EVERYONE who submits gets a critique. (I don’t think they are giving a turnaround time, though)
Another cool thing is your manuscript DOES NOT need to be complete, and it is not even a formal submission. They are critiquing everything.
Why would they do this?
They are pretty smart, actually. Most editors know if they want a book within the first few pages. If they like what they see, they will ask to see your manuscript when it is complete. (This happened with a friend of mine)
My question for you…
What do you have to lose? Send in your first five, even if Breathless/Lycaon are not on your radar, your first five pages are the most important pages of your book. Why not get an educated opinion of how good they are?
Who’s going for it?
