New MA Contest Coming Soon!!

We've got another great Mystery Agent all lined up for August 1st!!

This time, our MA will be taking 50 3-line pitches. That's right.....3 LINE PITCHES! You get three whole sentences to wow our MA, so get them polished up! (As a reminder, please make sure you are posting three actual sentences and three sentences only. Creative punctuation can really only be stretched so far)  ;-)

Here are a few deets on what our MA is looking for:


Current wish list:

New Adult
Young Adult
Middle Grade
Adult

In these genres:

Fantasy
Romance
Paranormal
Historical
Contemporary
Horror
Light SF
Thrillers

Specifically looking for:
  • A MG mystery full of wit, suspense, and adventure. 
  • An authentic and relatable male protagonist in YA.
  • Something truly unique and different in NA - a story where the characters and their stories linger long after the book is finished.


So, get those pitches polished and ready for August 1st! The first 50 qualifying pitches will be accepted.

What time do the contests usually open? I'm in Russia so I have to figure out the time difference. Thanks!

Such an awesome contest! I'm new to your guys' sight and having a bit of trouble figuring out when the winner will be announced (so many good entries!). Is there a general time or is it more of a check back daily to see?
