Agent-Judged Contests And Amazing Teen Writers

Here are a few upcoming agent-judged contests (click blue title for more info):


Natalie Fischer Revision Contest- Going on NOW at EbyssWriter's blog. Will be open until July 11 or up to 50 entries (hovering around 32 entries as of this post).

Miss Snark's First Victim, July Secret Agent Contest- Opens on Monday, July 11. Categories are Adult Fiction (no humor) and YA Fiction.

Twitter Pitch Contest with Kristin Miller of D4EO Literary- Tuesday, July 12. 140 characters describing your finished YA or MG novel. I love these~ they really challenge you to condense your plot into a short, appealing pitch. Monica B.W. is your awesome hostess. Links: Kristin Miller's blog, Kristin Miller's Wish List

An Agent's Inbox Contest- The fabulous Krista V. of Mother. Write. Repeat. will be having another agent contest, with the rounds starting July 25. Last month's contest with Vickie Motter of Andrea Hurst was a great success. Go follow Krista's blog now, so you can be sure to receive updates!

The Teen Blogfest hosted by my blogging friend Brittany (of Hills and Corkscrews) is winding down. Tomorrow is "Ask the Teen" day, so be sure to visit the participants' blogs for some firsthand answers from the teen mind. They're looking for questions from YOU!

*There's a shortage of "Ask the Teen" questions, so PLEASE send a question regarding teen reading habits or writing or trends or anything teen writing/reading-related to brittany (at) hillsandcorkscrews (dot) com

    Thanks for mentioning the blogfest, Jess! Also, there's still time to submit questions for the Ask-the-Teens thing (because we, uh, haven't gotten any yet), so if you have any questions e-mail them to brittany (at) hillsandcorkscrews (dot) com.

    Thanks for the links. I entered the Natalie Fisher contest. I had lunch with her at a recent writing conference. She's refreshing to talk to.
