Agent Showcase

FALL FICTION FEST ENTRIES

TEAM MERRY 2018

(Winter is coming)

Ahhh!

It’s time to announce my team for FALL FICTION FEST!

Amy & Michelle’s teams can be found by clicking on their names.

I hope everyone has gotten something out of the contest, even if they don’t see themselves below. Contests are more than just making it into the agent round. They’re a chance to network with other authors. A chance to find your people.

We received 300+ entries, and it was a challenge trying to pick just 12. 12! I truly wanted to pick everyone. I was blown away by how awesome you all are. It took me days to narrow down 100, then to 50, and then, I had to make more painful decisions. I’ve been there, hoping I’d get into a contest, and I wanted to give this chance to all of you.

But remember, this isn’t your only opportunity to get your book in front of agents. Query them. Take part in Twitter pitch contests (which is how I found my agent). Everyone’s journey is different, and there’s no deadline. Keep trying, and you’ll see your dreams come true.
