What's wrong with your current agent??? Or you're just entering for fun? The whole "fun" in this is reading other people's work. Everything else is a nerve-wracking grasping at something you don't have, and while I guess that's fun, it's more of a necessity than anything else. (Gotta get that agent!) So why would you enter if you don't need to??? Torture? To clog up the twitter feeds? Free publicity from people who are writers instead of from readers?<br /><br />WHYYYYYYYPetre Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116806277306186024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843069902682834773.post-69701731968103464632013-03-29T09:25:04.834-07:002013-03-29T09:25:04.834-07:00I can't even believe people would do this!

It always leaves me confused and really has given me a bit of pause upon entering. I mean, you have an agent. That's what we are looking for - right? Why are you in the contest.

Imagine browsing around a contest, and seeing YOUR CLIENT's MANUSCRIPT entered there! It's like telling your boss that you're going to miss work today because you're going out on job interviews, just for giggles.
