Thanks so much for your enthusiasm!! :p

Win a Query or First Chapter Critique by the Incomparable Suzie Townsend

Here it is, the contest I promised you!

Last month, I celebrated my two year anniversary with my truly fabulous agent, Suzie Townsend. (Original artwork by Realm Lovejoy.) She recently announced her move to the house of fabulousity that is Nancy Coffey Literary & Media Representation. And now she has graciously offered up either a query or first chapter critique (of the winner's choosing) for one of you luck readers! Squee!

So, here's the deal. As was the case in my contests, the critique is transferable, but unlike my contests, you'll need to submit your query or first chapter within 30 days of being notified of your win. Suzie is a very busy lady, after all. =)

To enter, all you have to do is fill out the form below by noon PDT on Friday 10/14. You can enter for yourself or for a friend. And if you spread the word by Tweeting or Facebooking a link to this contest, you get extra entries! The winner will be chosen by the randomizer after noon on Friday.

In case you didn't see, Friday will explode with contest winners. My contest for a Last Rite galley and an iPod Shuffle with the PD trilogy playlist and my other contest for signed copies of Cassie Clare's City of Glass and my Original Sin also end Friday at noon, so enter them all!

Good luck!!
