It's mystery agent time this Sunday!
Which means a brand new Mystery Agent! ** dances**
This time, instead of a pitch, we're mixing things up a bit. Our mystery agent would like
the first 200 words of your COMPLETED manuscript.
That's right, the first 200 words, not a pitch.
Our mystery agent is looking for the following:
I'm looking for YA of all types, story-driven (as opposed to "lesson"-driven) middle grade. I'm also looking for a range of commercial adult fiction.
So polish up those opening words for our contest this Sunday. The prize will be a partial request from our fabulous mystery agent.

Oh exciting! :) I presume you'll let us know how to submit these entries on Sunday?
Oh how wonderful. Will this be a comment entry, and the first so many are in? Oh I hope I get to it in time :)
yes, you'll just post your entry in the comments. We'll post all the details on Sunday, just wanted to give everyone a heads up :)
Sounds awesome! Super psyched!
Cool. I gotta go check to see my first 200 again. Thanks.
Mission accomplished, this sounds AWESOME! :) Thanks!
Does "adult commercial fiction" mean any genre books for adults, like romance?
I'm also wondering about the specifics for "adult commercial fiction" does it include urban fantasy?
OMG! Dancing dude is just too funny! I remember him!
Sounds fun! And the real work is already done. I'll be back on Sunday:)
How fun! :)
On April Fools Day? Sounds potentially fishy... ;P
Gotta say love this concept...and the Fresh Prince clip =P
Yay! This is exciting!
I have to agree with Empress Awesome...what an exciting idea this is, but it is April Fools Day. :)
Yay, sounds awesome. :D
Cool opportunity! Will I need to be up early tomorrow morning to check when??? :)
I love that this post begins with Carlton doing "the Carlton".....makes it all the more fun. Thanks for hosting another great opportunity!
yes :)
to my understanding, it pretty much covers anything that's on the commercial end of the spectrum as opposed to literary novels.
Thanks for hosting :D What time will it open?
Can you remind me of the Secret Agent rules--can we enter if we've entered (but not won) a Secret Agent contest before?
You can enter even if you have won before :) All the rules and details will be posted in the morning, stay tuned :)
Just wondering what time Sunday morning - I'm very interested but live on the west coast. Hope I still have a chance to enter during my morning!
Cool.
Oh, and I forgot to mention how much I love the dancing reminder of the 90's :)
Fresh prince of Belaire....yeah, I totally know every word to that song.
Amazing! *does Carlton dance*
How dow we enter?
I knew I should've just stayed up all night and just not had my daughter go to school. It's the only way I get a chance as these contests usually pop up sometimes between midnight and now (7.40am)
The joys of being born in NZ, I suppose.
Ah, well, hopefully June's agent will be looking for adult fantasy. Though knowing my luck, probably not.
