The post doesn't mention the first 250, but the Rafflecopter does. I sent mine just in case.
Thanks Patchi! I just fixed it. :-) This fab agent is looking for 50 word blurb. (your entry will be fine though.. since the rafflecopter was in error at the time of your entry.) Thanks for the heads up!
Uh oh! After I wrote my manuscript's name, I hit "enter" to go down to the next line... but I think Rafflecopter thought I was finished, and submitted my entry unfinished! Is there a way to fix this?
No worries Lauren! If it submitted, you have an entry in the drawing. Just make sure you email all the text info:

Okay great, thanks!
Oh no, it looks like I have 3 entries, but I haven't actually made it past my name. Sorry, this is my first time using Rafflecopter. May I email you my entry? Thanks!
Does "Name" refer to our name or our novel's name? I assumed ours, until I read a comment down here and realized there's nowhere else looking for the title, which is unusual.
Is it ok to submit for April if we've won (or been a runner up) in a past contest?
yeah-- not sure about the ins and outs on Rafflecopter-- so if you have entries, you're good! But you DO need to email your entry for sure :-)
Good luck!
The title isn't as important as the blurb for this agent. :-) "Name" would refer to your name. :-)
Sure!! You are welcome to enter even if you've won (or been a runner up) for previous contests. :-) Good luck!
I don't see anywhere to list the title of the manuscript. I filled everything out on Rafflecopter and sent the email though. I typed "done" in the section asking for the email to be sent. Was this wrong?
No need for the title :-) Sounds like you did fine :-) Good luck!
