Not sure what's going on, but the rafflecopter isn't quite working for me... maybe it doesn't like Safari? It doesn't seem to be accepting anything other than my name & email address.

Not sure if anyone else is having the same problem... but feel free to delete my entry as it doesn't seem to be complete.

I am having the same issue. It won't take my first page.

Kristal Shaff said...

I'm wondering what's going on with it as well. Trying to figure out what's going on.....

Kristal Shaff said...

If you can't enter the first page, it won't take you out of the drawing. Go ahead and enter and you will be included. :) We'll just have to email you and get it from you that way.

Kristal Shaff said...

You will be included. We'll figure it out if you are selected. :)

Kathleea said...

Thanks for the update! I guess it didn't take either my query or my first page.

Krista McLaughlin said...

I'm not sure if it took my first page or my query, but I did try! :)

Jamie said...

It wouldn't take my query letter and I don't think my whole first page went through, but I'm entered.

moxiepoet said...

Having the same issue. I'll look for the email. Thanks!

Angelica R. Jackson said...

I just tried a test entry and it worked fine, so hopefully whatever was going buggy has resolved itself now. :/

J Lenni Dorner said...

Oh man! Best of luck to those who enter. I'm not query ready yet. Fingers crossed for such an opportunity to roll back around in a few months.

Sheralan said...

I think only the first line of my query made and I have no idea how much of the first page. Is there anyway to edit? One line does not a great query make. :)

Lara said...

I was in the July MA contest. I didn't see anything above about who can and can't enter. Just wondering... Good luck to all!!

Angelica R. Jackson said...

You can enter, even if you've been in previous contests! :) Our rules are under the Mystery Agents tab above

Angelica R. Jackson said...

Because of the Rafflecopter hiccups this time around, we'll be emailing the folks who make it through, to get their entries. So as long as your contact is in there, you're good for now!

Angelica R. Jackson said...

We try to do them every month, but it's dependent on the availability of agents. Following our Twitter and liking our Facebook are good ways to stay on top of the contests. :)

Summer said...

So it would only take my name... no contact info. Should I leave contact info here just in case I'm selected? :) Thanks!

Kristal Shaff said...

Sure Summer. Just in case.
