Emerald City Opener Writing Contest - Open!
My RWA chapter, the Greater Seattle Romance Writers of America, has announced the opening of this years contest, which is associated with our Emerald City Writers Conference in October. (Also known as the Geographically-Challenged Writers Conference, since it isn’t actually held in the Emerald City.) So wipe the cobwebs off your manuscript and polish up your first seven pages!
We are now accepting entries for the Emerald City Opener Contest!
Your opener is the hook that attracts an editor or agent. Polish the first seven pages of your manuscript and enter the Emerald City Opener Contest. Detailed scoresheets provide feedback, and judges (published or Golden Heart finalists/winners) are encouraged to write comments on your entry.
Entries that final will be judged by editors and agents. Plus you’ll get a private appointment with an editor or agent at the Emerald City conference.
Entries must be postmarked by midnight June 15, 2008
Entry fee: $12 for members, $20 for nonmembers

You better lend Drifter to me so you can focus on your entry.

Yes, well, abandoning blogging in favor of writing on my WIP is a continual struggle. But my hero is even hotter than Drifter.
You’ll just have to wait and meet him once I’m published!
