We’re into the summer slump, so not many contests are in July. However, this just gives you more time to prepare for the major contests coming in the fall! 7/7-20: https://kathytemean.wordpress.com/ First Page Critique: What you need: 1st page revised & ready for scrutiny by this month’s featured editor (Mira Reisberg). What you get: A chance to be picked at random for an agent critique of your 1st page. (Don't forget to watch the blog for the editor’s upcoming interview.) Entries picked at random. 7/10-12: https://operationawesome6.blogspot.com/2017/07/july-2017-pass-or-pages-agent-panel.html Pass or Pages: What you need: Polished query & first 250 words of your completed YA contemporary novel. What you get: Five entries will be chosen at random to appear on the blog with agent’s comments. Bonus: As promised in the title, there’s a possibility the agents will request pages! 7/19: Pitch Wars Blog Hop begins! http://www.brenda-drake.com/2017/06/pitch-wars-2017-details/ Pitch Wars technically begins August 2nd, but the all important mentor blog hop opens July 19. There are many mentors to choose from, so take your time browsing the blogs and pick wisely!
