The Mystery Agent Contest
On September 1, 2010, Operation Awesome announced a one-sentence agent pitch contest.
Out of 50 one-line pitches, one winner was selected to submit a FULL MANUSCRIPT. Another non-contest-winner ended up landing an agent!
The 100 Followers Contest that same month offered a query critique.
The second Mystery Agent Contest was in November 2010. And a third in December.
February 2011 had the Agent Query Critique Contest.
Pass Or Pages came into existence because of the success of these, and many more OA contests, that came before it. The name Pass or Pages was announced in December 2015.
Pass or Pages Official Contest Rules and Agent Panel
January 2016 was the first time this query contest ran under this name.
Agents included:
Caitie Flum @caitief
Mark Gottlieb @Mark_Gottlieb
Lisa Abellera @lisaabellera
Dr. Uwe Stender @UweStenderPhD
The genre of the first Pass or Pages contest was Adult Mysteries/Thrillers.
Lisa Abellera: PAGES!
One entry was good enough to get a request from one agent.
Please tell others in your writing community!
