Now that the contest is over and I was not one of the "chosen", it's time to move on. Almost done with rewriting my book, I intend to go on and submit it again. A year or two ago I got a nibble and I am hoping that the publisher is still interested. I took some time off to finish school in the meantime so I haven't really had the time to rewrite until now. Classes are finished until the fall now, so wish me luck!
Judy, I was sad to see your manuscript wasn't one of the chosen, as I greatly enjoyed reading your earlier drafts; I know your latest rewrite will be fantastic too. I wish you much good luck in the final stages of this step and hope to continue to be one of your readers in progress. The submissions for two other writers I used to be in an in-person critique group with before I moved as well as my pitch didn't make it into the Top 20 either. But you have a real nibble on your plate, which is beyond wonderful! I will say a special prayer to the publishing gods that you soon have a contract for Beyond the Waterfall.
