Great opportunity. No drinking yourself insensible on vodka because your query letter isn't measuring up. Just craft three simple sentences. Moohoohahaha. I know, I know. Where's the Smirnoffs.

Win a Critique From a Literary Agent

Creative Commons photo by Charles Chan
Author C.J. Darlington has a post on a writing contest by christian fiction literary agent Rachelle Gardner. She's offering two winners a critique of their work-in-progress (query letter, book proposal, or first ten pages of novel - choose one).
The contest has two parts. First you submit the first line of a novel. One person will win the critique prize for best first line. Then contestants write 300 words based on the first line she assigns you from the first part of the contest. The winner gets the second critique prize.
The first deadline for the opening line is Sunday, March 22 at midnight mountain time.
