Brevity is the Soul of ... Publication?

By ~Manischdepressiv

Tip for my writerly Dear Readers: check out Shelley Watter's super-amazing contest. The winner gets a full MS request by Suzie Townsend! (Did I mention that she's on my very short list of ~*Dream Agents*~? I didn't mention that? Well, she is. Big time.) Even the second-place prize, a query critique by Shelley, would be a boost to any of us looking toward publication.

The tricksy part: to enter, we have to produce a persuasive, engaging Twitter-length hook for our completed MS and post it for the world to see on April 1 or 2. For the exact contest guidelines, see Shelley's post. Ms. Townsend will pick the winner from all the entries. (Did I mention ~*Dream Agent*~?! Squee!)

Spread the word! Super-cool writing contest on the near horizon!

And now, I'm off to condense my 130k words to 140 characters. Eep! Check back this Friday to see the finished product.
