I had hoped to get some submissions but they don't always call on the Canucks what with the extra charge for shipping, etc. Maybe next year...Kelly Boycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459592836145655997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12323728.post-32844286541513840972008-02-17T21:22:00.000-06:002008-02-17T21:22:00.000-06:00I found the same to be true with my entries, Lexi....I found the same to be true with my entries, Lexi. Had one that really sucked me in but the synopsis left me scratching my head.

While judging my entries, I discovered again how important the first page is. A couple of the entries were so slow to start, I had trouble getting into the story at all. Info dumps mainly. <BR/><BR/>Then there were the synopsis. There was one that really impressed me because the story was so different. That one got a really good score. :)Nita Wickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688479103715330027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12323728.post-25005350629508904392008-02-17T19:34:00.000-06:002008-02-17T19:34:00.000-06:00When I judged my entries, I found some really nice...When I judged my entries, I found some really nice writing was lowered in my eyes by a mediocre synopsis. I got a sense of what editors and agents are up against when they pick up a partial. Made me really sympathetic. And it made me want to work that much harder on my own stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663703767093923242noreply@blogger.com
