Another great contest last week was the one posted by Jim McCarthy of Dystel & Goderich in which the D&G blogowers were asked to submit and choose the best first sentence from an unpublished YA or MG manuscript. Check out the top nine and some fascinating discussion here:
http://dglm.blogspot.com/2010/04/choosing-first-lines.htmlThere is a lot to be learned from the commentary and the lines themselves, and Jim promises more to come on Thursday at 5:00 pm when he posts the winner.
Polling is still open, so go cast your vote. And BIG congrats to Ara who, as of yesterday when I cast my vote, was in the lead.
Happy voting,

The ever intrepid Nathan Bransford has come up with an intriguing experiment: shuffle a slushpile in an agent's shoes. He has randomly chosen five queries from the 150+ submitted by willing participants, and we, his minions, are instructed to pick one that we (in our slinky agent's footwear) would choose for a submission request. In truth, he will post the first thirty pages of all five submissions so that we can see how well the queries match the writing.
Fascinating, no?
Check out the queries and cast your vote at:

Happy voting,
