The August Mystery Agent Lottery IS NOW CLOSED!


It's time for another Mystery Agent contest! Woo hoo!  Entries are now closed.

Our Mystery Agent will accept 50 pitches, with a maximum of 50 words each. Starting now, you can enter the Mystery Agent Lottery for one of those 50 slots.

Our Mystery Agent is actively seeking YA and MG novels of all genres.

If you have a completed YA or MG manuscript, please enter your name and contact information into the Rafflecopter below. Please enter only once, and only if your manuscript is finished and query-ready.

The lottery closed July 25th--thanks to all who entered! Not only will our agent be able to read the entries, but so will all of you! All 50 of those lucky entries will be posted here on the blog on our Mystery Agent days, for your cheerleading and constructive feedback. And last but certainly not least, the reveal, along with the fabulous to-be-announced prizes, will be posted here sometime in the month of August.

Where do we post our pitch? thank you. And thanks for this opportunity.

Hi Karen! This lottery signup is for the 50 slots; once we have selected those lucky 50, we'll have instructions for where and how to post. Thanks for asking, and sorry if there was some confusion. :)

Ah-- Okie! thanks. :)

Ohh!! I was confused about that too and put my 50 word pitch in that comment section that popped up. Sorry if my entry is totally wrong too, but then I think you said back in FB that the contact information is the most important.

I've taken out the step 2, so it should only ask for your contact info now. The good news is, that gives you more time to get your 50-word pitches exactly the way you want them!

Just like last month, we'll randomly select 50 people who will actually get their pitches in front of the Mystery Agent. We'll announce the names here on the blog and have you email your pitches to us. So stay tuned for further details, and thanks for your patience while we work out the bugs in our new format!

Noticed that we haven't had any more entries coming in, and maybe that's because the counter says 50--KEEP ENTERING! This Rafflecopter is just for the pool that we select 50 entries from, so it doesn't matter if we go over 50 (in fact, we prefer it, since it seems to give new faces a chance to play).
