LITERARY IDOL goes like this: a trained actor reads aloud the first 250 words of your unpublished manuscript for a panel of four judges, high-powered agents all, with years of experience reading unsolicited manuscripts. When one judge hears a line that would make her stop reading, she raises her hand. The actor keeps reading until a second hand is raised.
The critiques were brilliant and spot-on. My manuscript was the last one read.
No, they weren’t there. Our judges were even bigger rockstars: Katharine Sands of Sarah Jayne Freymann; Jennifer Carlson of Dunow, Carlson & Lerner; Erin Harris of Irene Skolnik; and Rees Literary’s Ann Collette. Humble thanks for your kind words, esteemed panel!
Literary Idol ROCKED. I just wish I could have DVR’d it.
That is fantabulous, and I am not even surprised! Rock it, baby!
YOU rock it! I want updates on your recent developments…
What a thrill, Kim! I’m so very happy for you!
Kristin! I’m missing you on “the scene!” I hope things are going well, and that I’ll see you soon (back in the hood for the reunion, perhaps?)
Congratulations Kim! How exciting!! I’m so happy for you.
