    My next project will be YA horror, but I'm a LOOOONG way from being ready to submit anything. Well, at least now I know who's looking for it. :D

    Woo-hoo! When I saw this blog post from Nelson, I was so excited. SILO is speculative fiction, so let's hope the odds are in our favor:) Great post Jess and have an AWESOME weekend!

    This is very helpful to all of us, thanks for posting all these links. Interesting what they are looking for now and what they aren't--my kind of work--sigh...:(

    Ah, Mary Kohl! Those who managed to sign up for a first-page critique with her got the luck of the draw :-) I was fortunate to pitch to her at a conference last year, and came away with valuable tips!

    Thanks for the links, Jess--appreciate how you bring all this good stuff to our attention...
