New Voices results

Rats! I didn't get placed in the comp, in fact I didn't get anywhere, not a whisker of success. Still with 800-odd entries and some really terrific ones at that I have to admit defeat gracefully. Well, not defeat exactly as we all live to fight another day. I still have a partial with M&B and we can all submit again through the normal channels. It's just so nice to have a quick response rather than have to wait. Nevertheless, Romance HQ have taken pity on us all and offered a further ten entrants the chance of having their chapters critiqued. All you have to do to enter the draw is to go on the New Voices website and log in your request to be included - they will then pull names from the hat. So, guys, it's not all over. Good luck yet again!

Good luck with the draw! It looked, from the sidelines, as if the scoring system was a bit tricky - good for you for putting your work up there.

Thanks Chris that's really kind. I hope your booksigning went well, it can't be easy setting something up like that. I'm sure it was a great success.

Well done for entering, Cara!

I didn't have the time to follow the comp but from the tiny bit I've seen, competition was stiff. I'm sure you not getting picked is no reflection on your writing, but the sheer number of entries!

The very best luck with your partial. I'll be on the look out for your news.

Hugs,
Monique
