Win It: YA Partial Critique from Ellen Hopkins

Hi, my name is Martha and I have a gambling addiction. I lurve Las Vegas, Reno, Tahoe, Cruise Ships...anywhere games of chance can be found.

As a natural extension, I love online auctions. Maybe I just love winning. But this isn't a Psych 101 course on my problems.

I recently won an online auction for a critique on a partial from young adult author and New York Times bestseller Ellen Hopkins and am offering that partial up to one lucky unpublished author.*

All you have to do to win?

Visit the Pens Fatales grog, find my posting on the kind of writer I am, and comment with what kind of writer you are and that you'd like to enter the contest. Entries accepted through 10pm, June 9th, PST (bonus entry to Rebecca for catching my initial typo of July!). Winners will be announced on that grog when I post again on June 10th with my thoughts on First Lines.

Any comments posted here will not be considered for entry, but will be read and enjoyed nonetheless. :)

* Entrants should not have released an SCBWI recognized-published book in the past three years and should not currently be in contract. No, I'm not going to check this, but break the rules and it's your karma, buddy! Please be ready to submit your partial, up to 30 pages inclusive of query, within 30 days of winning.
