NINE Winners and SUPERNATURALLY Cover Love!

It's MONDAY and I'm happy! Operation Awesome had over 100 entries in the Follower Love Month: Agent Query Critique CONTEST!!! We were overwhelmed with the awesomeness as you guys spread the word on twitter, facebook, and writing forums all over the web.

Nine lucky entrants won query or page critiques, two from our incredible participating agents, Natalie Fischer and Josh Getzler. These are two of the nicest agents with whom I've had the pleasure to correspond.  

And the winners are... over here!

The query I get to read is for YA Paranormal! I'm very excited about that, as that happens to be my favorite genre in the world.

And on to the COVER LOVE portion of today!

Have you seen this?

Life's never fair when faeries are involved.  Add it on GOODREADS

Stole my breath when I saw it on Kiersten White's super fun blog! Sigh. August 30th, you can't come fast enough!

It's the sequel to this...

So much for normal.

...which was hands down the most fun read of 2010!

If you haven't read it yet, run to your nearest indie or snatch it up on amazon.com. Actually, you can pre-order the sequel now, too!!

How are you all doing with your writing? Are the words flowing or are you plodding along like me?

And the winner of a full NaNoWriMo beta-read is...

Ready to crown our winner?

Me, too! Let's do it!

The TWO winners of last week's NaNoWriMo Logline Contest are:

Emy Shin 

and 

Feywriter 

(Emy and Fey, email me your finished stories at katrina.lantz (at) gmail (dot) com in December, or whenever they're ready for a beta read. I'm looking forward to the exciting reads!)

It's so hard to sum up your novel in one line, whether you've finished writing it or not. I was impressed with all the entries and it was tough to pick one (umm, impossible, really). So I picked two, but that's my max! You guys know how busy December is. :) Thanks to everybody who entered!

Keep polishing your completed novel pitches because Operation Awesome will be having a December contest. (Note about the December contest: please do not pitch your Nano novel to our Mystery Agent. Give it time to simmer before you really tackle your revisions. You'll be glad you did.)

Kristal also has declared a BLOG BANNER WINNER over at her blog, so check that out, if you entered, to see if you're the lucky winner.

I've got a new article up on The Best Damn Creative Writing Blog:
Writers, do you read?

Lastly, but not leastly, I must direct you to Operation Awesome for a fabulous guest post by...
