Win A Free Registration For The Next Query Workshop!

Do you need help crafting an amazing query letter? Do you long to have the mysteries of querying unlocked for you? How would you like to have a professional critique your query until you get it right?

That's exactly what my two week online (do on your own time schedule!) query workshop offers. It's a $40 value, though my former clients tell me the results they get are priceless. See for yourself.

Now, for the first time ever, I'm going to give away one free query workshop registration. Already took the course? You can give it to a writer friend as a gift. Here's how to enter.

1. Tweet the link to this post and include my user name so I can give you credit. (@cjredwine) = 2 entries

2. Link to this post (with a quick explanation of the contest) on your blog. Include the link to my workshop site as well. (http://queryworkshop.blogspot.com) Comment here with the link. = 2 entries

3. Comment here with a 1-3 sentence pitch for your manuscript (I'm not judging on how awesome your pitch is. I'm doing a random drawing, so don't stress!). = 1 entry.

You have from now until 8 p.m. Saturday night (Central time zone) to rack up the entries. I'll tally them up, generate a random number, and announce the winner here on my blog Saturday night!

    1 entry: Jane Darcy's life gets way more interesting on the day her eyes change color and she discovers she can move things with her mind. Oh, and the boy she loves? He can fly... without a plane. They have fun with their abilities--who wouldn't? It's like one, big, extraordinary game. But in this "game" everything comes at a cost, and the outcomes are deadly.

    (Okay, I went like three sentences over the limit, so if you don't want to count that 1 entry I totally understand.)

    MAKE ME HOWL
    Born with the werewolf gene:
    The good news, a biting sense of humor, a killer sense of style and control to keep from morphing during a full moon.
    The bad news, losing control anytime--when angry, drunk or even making love--will cause an unexpected change to the wild life.

  8. Hey, C.J. -
    I twittered the contest so, 2 entry: http://twitter.com/lynsouth

    Here's the link to my blog entry:

    Here's my 2-3 line query pitch:
    Saying that sixteen-year-old Cate Allyn is in shock is the understatement of any century. All in one night, her beloved Granny Maggie is expelled from the totalitarian government’s nursing home; her father is arrested for treason; and she meets Gyan, a time traveler who tells Cate that the dystopian world she lives in results from renegades altering history for unscrupulous gains. The task of going back in time to undo the damage falls to her.

    Thanks!
