The Raven and the Wolf is a Textnovel Finalist. The winner will be announced October 31st. All your visits, comments and votes have help my story get this far. But it's not over yet. Keep clicking away to help me show the judges that the story is commercially viable and has a following. I will keep working on ferreting out all of those pesky typos, punctuation errors and any other mistakes. If you spot one PLEASE tell me.
If I am selected the prize is $1000 and representation by the Stan Soper literary agency. Stan Soper is a lawyer turned agent and the founder of Textnovel.com.
My job over the next few weeks is to get my manuscript ready for submission to publishers. The benefit of having representation is that it will open the way for my novel to reach the desks of many more editors than I can reach on my own.
Today is the end. How will they decide? It's anyone's guess. My thoughts are that they will steer toward familiar genres where Stan Soper already has established relationships with editors. This boasts well for urban fantasy, thrillers and young adult as they have selected winners from this group for the last 2 years.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see. They have already begun reading as of last night. It is now nearly 6 p.m. on Sunday. I imagine they have probably already tried to contact their selection and are waiting on confirmation before announcing the winner (then again maybe not). The deadline dates have not been an exact science.
