Welcome from the Rejects! (AND PRIZES!!)


Welcome to our little blog! We—Liz, Auzy and Nazarea—are the Writerly Rejects. Why call ourselves rejects? Well, because right now, we’re being rejected. All three of us are in some stage of the query process and as most of you know that’s a process full of rejection.
We’ve been at it a while, though, so we’re here to share our thoughts on querying, writing, life, and books. (N: YAY BOOKS!!). We are so glad y’all made it over here! For the first few days, we’re going to be introducing ourselves, letting you get to know us some. If you have any questions for any reject, please feel free to pester us in the comments. (Especially Liz. It’s good for her. ;)
(L: Hey—not cool, N~)

AND!!! We’re holding a raffle!! We need your help spreading the word about the blog (especially before Tuesday!!! Big things happening next Tuesday!!)
So, to entice you to blog, tweet or status update about us, we offer prizes!

A 20 page critique by Auzy.
A 20 page critique by Nazarea

    Good luck with your writing and the contest. I've tweeted about it, and as you can see, I'm now following your blog. You can check out my blog, too, at http://shevi.blogspot.com.

    My most popular post is on my reasons for choosing to indie publish. If you're curious about that option, you might want to check it out.

    This is lovely! Also, all of your names have a Z. That has to mean something big.

    Tweeted you!! And sorry I'm late. I told you two days ago I'd come visit and follow. I think one of my kiddos distracted me. I'm part of the family now, though!!

    Fun. I'm terrible at spreading the word (mostly because I've been MIA), but I'm following and look forward to future posts...that is, as long as you all like cheese. *eyeing the followers badge*

    Okay, so I'm attempting this for the forth time... :)

    Congrats on the blog! I'll sure be following. A question, will the blog be geared more towards YA/Fantasy or are you going to tackle all genres?
    I FB'd, Tweet'd and +'d you a couple days ago, lol.

    Mel, YA is a first love of mine to be sure, but the contest will allow YA, MG, and a some Romance genre's. Full details will be out soon.
    From your friendly neighbor hood freak,
    Auzy
