It's that time again! Time for another fabulous agent contest. Well, almost--it actually opens next
Claire Anderson-Wheeler is a new agent with Anderson Literary Management. Here's a bit more about her in her own words:
- I read across the gamut, commercial to literary, adult to YA (but no children's/middle grade).
- There are no hard and fast rules, but I'm excited by 1. well-written literary fiction 2. anything with a well-constructed plot
- I have a strong interest in "multi-cultural" or "world fiction", but also stories set closer to home, often focusing on the domestic sphere.
- I enjoy historical and crime fiction
- In non-fiction, my taste runs mainly toward narrative non-fiction and biography
Claire is pretty awesome, right? So now that you know WHO, here's the what.
This contest is open to
Literary Fiction
Crime
Commercial Fiction
Fantasy
Women's Fiction
Young Adult
Multi-Cultural

ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting! Is it 9 am EST?
ReplyDeleteYes! Thanks for asking, the submission window is from 9am-12midnight EST.
DeleteAwesome! Thank you!
DeleteGreat contest! Since the prize is a critique, does the manuscript need to be complete/submission ready? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt does need to be complete. It doesn't need to be perfectly polished, but it should be finished.
ReplyDeleteSo this contest isn't considering historical fiction, though it's one of her interests? Would young adult historical be considered?
ReplyDeleteshe's open to young adult, so I'd say yes. :)
DeleteVery exciting. Thanks for the opportunity.

ReplyDeleteI might be blind, but I'm not seeing HOW to submit an entry. It sounds like we're supposed to email it in, but I don't see an address (again - I might be blind, apologies if that's the case!). Are we supposed to email it or is it a separate post that will go up on Monday where we post the entries in the comments?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much - this sounds like a great contest! :D

Hi everyone! Life without my boyfriend was a real mess for me,What on Earth will i do to thank Dr.Unity for his help? he is wonderful and has a good heart. He is like a God on Earth and i really do not know what to do to thank him for helping me regain my boyfriend love back with his spell. After being in relationship with my boyfriend (Andrew) for 3 years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before two days, that my ex will return to me before two days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the other ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, like of issue of not being able to get pregnant for many years, lotto, his email is: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com or call him on +2348072370762 you can email him if you need his help in your relationship or any other problem like wining lottery your problem can never remain the same again, it will turn a thing of the past in your life..I am Katy Brown by name i live here in Los Angeles, California United States.
