It would also entail writing up reader reports on full manuscripts. I am in need of a new intern (or two) to maintain the query pile, and also likely read some full manuscripts of your choosing. It means managing an email account by screening the queries into folders for my review, and sending the requests/rejections once I’ve reviewed them. (Rafflecopter didn't want to embed, so please follow the link below to enter.) The contest is open until Wednesday, September 19, since the course starts September 20. Good luck and I'm so excited to work with the winner- the course includes several lectures and four critiques, which cover 30 pages and a query letter, so I end up getting to know everyone and their novels pretty well. (And I think rafflecopter allows you to tweet once each day for an extra entry!).

There are a few ways to win- follow me, tweet the giveaway, and/or leave a comment. I've been getting comments on twitter that folks want to join the class but aren't able to pony up the $397 price tag, so I asked for permission to give away an extra seat, and the folks at Lit Reactor obliged, so here we are! I wish I had some magically fair way to give it away to the winner who most deserved it, but I'll have to go with a plain old game of chance instead. As an agent and author I don't always have time to work in depth with aspiring authors and this class gives me the perfect excuse to critique and discuss, and I LOVE that. I ran this course over the summer, and I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST working with 18 students. Some of you may know that I am teaching an upcoming course on Writing & Selling the YA novel for Lit Reactor.
