Hello, all you lovely querying authors out there.
Cupid’s Literary Connection is hosting a great contest for February. Get your query seen by a fantastic list of literary agents in a variety of genres. It’s a ‘speed dating’ contest where agents can select queries to request manuscripts from, but our identity will not be revealed until the end. And we fight for the queries we want to request! Projects are screened by publishing professionals. What an exciting event! Good luck!
Agents involved are:
- Laura Bradford
- Vickie Motter
- Sarah Lapolla
- Meredith Barnes
- Brooks Sherman
- Sara Crowe
- Sara Scuito
- Weronika Janczuk
- Halli Melnitsky
- Molly Ker Hawn
- Carly Watters
Learn the rules from Cupid’s blog post. Or follow Cupid on Twitter. It’s a great chance to find a literary match this lovely month of February!

Thunderdome style??? Because I’d pay money to watch that. So would pretty much every author I know, agented or not. :-P

I’m so sad that I didn’t hit “send” fast enough! Such a fantastic lineup and I would’ve loved to see what everyone thought of my query. Can’t wait to see how everything goes down :)

I wonder how many queries will be in the drawing; that’s quite a concept. I’m assuming Cupid’s Literary Connection has some sort of weeding-out process so you don’t get deluged?
Best,
