So when Shannon approached us with the Pay It Forward With Partial proposition, we couldn't pass it up. We're not experts by any stretch of the imagination, but we are readers. Not to mention we provide BOGO critiques. A two-for-one steal. You can't beat that!
Even better, there are four other (far more talented) writers participating--that's 5 chances to win people! Here's how it works...
One person who comments on this post by Sunday, November 14th, 11:59 EST will win a 25 page manuscript critique compliments of LiLa. The winner will be announced Monday, November 15th!
But don't stop here. Click on the links of the amazing authors below for even more chances to win!
P.J. (Tricia) Hoover is a MG/YA Author, married, mother of 2 awesome kids, 1 crazy Yorkshire terrier, and 2 demanding tortoises. Also an ex-electrical engineer. She is represented by Laura Rennert of the Andrea Brown Literary Agency. (Texas Sweetheart and the creator of one of our favorite WriteOnCon vlogs.)
Elana Johnson is the founding author of the QueryTracker blog, a blogger with the League of Extraordinary Writers and organizer of WriteOnCon. She is represented by Michelle Andelman of Regal Literary and her debut novel, POSSESSION, will be published by Simon Pulse (Simon & Schuster) in Summer 2011. (We also have the sneaking suspicion that she's cloned herself purely to ensure she has time to read and comment on approximately 10,000 blogs per day.)
Shannon Messenger writes Middle Grade Fantasy and is repped by Laura Rennert of Andrea Brown Lit. She is also one of the founders and organizers of WriteOnCon. (Known best for her random vlogs and virtual dancing at WriteOnCon events.)
Sarah Wylie is repped by Suzie Townsend at Fineprint Lit. Her debut YA novel, ALL THESE LIVES, will be published by FSG/Macmillan in 2012. (One half of the most mysterious pair of sister writers on the interwebs and our biggest competition for the love of Ryan Gosling.)
Thanks again for all of your support you guys. We are so incredibly lucky!
