Hi Heather, does the tweet about the giveaway have any rules or formats, must use hashtags?
Heather Cashman · April 10, 2017 at 11:03 am
Just click the button and the pre-made tweet will appear. Thanks, Daniela!

Hi, I am new to this so I don’t know how to leave my first page–so sorry. I tweeted and put in the URL. Thanks for your help.
Heather Cashman · April 10, 2017 at 11:03 am
Susan–if you win, we’ll work it out. Don’t stress. We got you.

Shoot, I entered both before I realized I was supposed to enter one only but would prefer the free 500 word critique. I am unsure how to fix this other than by leaving a comment.
heathercashman · April 10, 2017 at 11:50 pm
It’s okay, Tonya! I’ll watch out for your entries and only count one of them.
impnotastepford · April 12, 2017 at 10:56 am
Oh crud. I entered both before seeing ‘please only enter one’. I’d be happy with either.
heathercashman · April 12, 2017 at 11:40 am
Making a note of it, impnotastepford. Not sure of your first name-hah! No worries.
Jacquelyn Goebel · April 12, 2017 at 11:35 am
Are picture books allowed? (The whole manuscript is in the query.)
heathercashman · April 12, 2017 at 11:39 am
We aren’t allowed to do picture books because when the whole MS is published on the blog, it’s published. That doesn’t go over well with agents and publishers. I’m sorry, Jacquelyn!

Hi Heather, I am new to tweeting as well. I tweeted but I don’t know if I put in the URL correctly on the entry page for the query critique.
Heather Cashman · April 18, 2017 at 10:38 pm
No worries! Thank you for entering the workshops!
angiemccullagh · April 14, 2017 at 10:56 am
Thank you for the opportunity! I entered and tweeted. 🙂
Jennifer Castro · April 15, 2017 at 8:12 pm
I can’t figure out how to leave my 500 words. Sorry
Natanne · April 16, 2017 at 12:37 am
Oh crud! I accidentally did both. I definitely want the query critique, thanks!
Rayna Reveur · April 16, 2017 at 4:39 pm
Oops, I entered both, sorry! I hope it won’t be too much trouble to fix it.
Julia Luiz · April 17, 2017 at 2:03 pm
Thanks for the opportunity! When is the deadline to send the first 500 words?
Wibberley the Wordsmith · April 17, 2017 at 10:33 pm
Thanks to everyone for this opportunity, can’t wait for the feedback. 🙂

Abbe Hoggan · April 18, 2017 at 6:34 pm
So excited for this opportunity! When/where will be critiques be done?
Heather Cashman · April 18, 2017 at 10:40 pm
The critiques will be posted on the blog, May-July. They’re chosen to match with mentors as much as possible and there’s no way to notify everyone of when they are scheduled. So follow the blog and yours will come up one of these days . . . Thank you for participating!
Amy D. Lamb (@LambAmyD) · April 20, 2017 at 12:36 pm
It is amazing to me that you facilitate this. I hope you do not ever underestimate the gratitude of all of us that are chosen. I am looking forward to my mentors feedback. Thank you!
angeladme · May 26, 2017 at 2:32 pm
Hi Heather, I am just checking to see if you sent out an email to me. I’ve been reading the critiques and have been impressed so I’m excited to get my shot with a mentor.
Thanks!

I see that I won a query critique but haven’t received an email. Any help, please?
heathercashman · May 5, 2017 at 11:54 pm
I promise I’ll get there! You should be hearing from me within a week or two.
angeladme · May 7, 2017 at 10:33 am
@heathercashman – Great, thank you! I was worried I missed my opportunity. 🙂
