Contest for Substantial Edit 100,000 words or less

C.A. Marshall is offering a fantastic opportunity over at her blog in the form of a contest.

Skip on over to check it out! Here's the gist:

And so, to celebrate the glowing review and for reaching 100 blog followers and 700 twitter followers (that just blows my mind!) I'm giving away a FREE substantial edit! (That's plot, pacing, character development, etc, up to 100k words) to one lucky reader!

+1 for becoming a new follower of the blog
+3 for being a current follower of the blog
+1 for becoming a new follower of my twitter
+3 for being a current follower of my twitter
+2 for tweeting about the contest (once per day, include links to actual tweet in your comment)
+5 for blogging about the contest (once per day, include links to actual blog post in your comment)
+1 for asking a question about writing/editing, or something else I can blog about that I haven't covered already (as many as you can think of!)

All you have to do is leave a comment with your total number of entries!

"Contest is open worldwide (but has to be in English) as everything is done by email, and ends Friday July 2nd at Midnight. I can wait up to a month for you to finish your MS if it isn't finished by July 2nd, SO GET WRITING!"

So far I've got 11 points.


Also, if you've got an adult MS complete, there's another contest over at the Query Tracker blog where agent Suzie Townsend will be judging twitter-length pitches. Could be very promising for those of you who write adult books. (Hee hee. Every time I say adult books, I think of....well, nevermind.)
