“The Writer’s Voice” Blogfest is live! Over the next week, we coaches will review your queries and first pages on the blogs listed below, and if one of us wants you on her team, she’ll leave a comment on your post that says something like, “I want you!” If more than one of us wants you, you’ll have to pick which coach you want to work with. (We’ll give you more instructions on this next week, depending on how things pan out…)

For more information, including a timeline of events and a list of this year’s participating agents, check out my previous post. In the meantime, feel free to hop around and play along with these not-quite-blind auditions!

I also wanted to take a moment to squee about Sharon Johnston’s cover reveal…

 
About the Book:
Title: Sleeper (Book I in the Toy Soldiers series)
Author: S. M. Johnston
Release Date: December 2, 2013
Publisher: Entranced Publishing
Genre: NA speculative fiction

After a life saving heart transplant, eighteen-year-old Mishca Richardson is plagued by nightmares and an urgent desire to find her birth parents, which she puts down to post-operation depression. But her new heart seems to bring more than a second chance at life in the form of speed, strength and love at first sight.

Thanks so much for throwing this party (which is what it feels like to me)! Sorry to sound like an idiot, but there’s one thing I don’t understand about the rules: will each coach be picking eight “team members,” or will there be eight writers chosen *total*? Thanks again!
