Thanks for this. I have always found writing a good query to be a bit of a mystery.

Congratulations, Jackee. I hope the next news we hear is that Mary’s offered to represent you, you’ve accepted and that Courtesy and Patience will soon be coming to a book store near me–’cause I want to read about their adventures.

Congrats all around to the winners. It’s humbling to see so many fresh voices.

Ms. Kole, this was a great experience. I’d bet you’ll see a huge jump in Twitter followers and queries now that the word is out on your generous critiques.

Thanks again…Now I’m even more excited to work on a current WIP–a Rock & Roll project.

Rock on!

Thanks for all the kind words. Thanks especially to Mary. This has been an awesome contest and when I submitted mine, I only had a sliver of hope that it would win. By the time Mary had posted second place winners, I didn’t have any hope.

Thanks again, Mary. You’ve made my month and I can’t wait to see your comments on the 30 pages. And those of you who don’t own Dansko shoes, you really are missing out—I wasn’t stalking Mary or lying about my collection. LOL!

A tale of Courtesy and Patience. The world could certainly use more of that.
Congratulations Jackee on a well deserved win. Many thanks Mary.
