Agent Pitch Winners

Couple notes:

• Thanks to everyone who entered!
• I did check every entry for instructions and character count.
  
• To those who were over 140 characters or did not include all the information requested, I sent your entries to Suzie (highlighted in red) and let her make the decision to judge since it was her contest.
• There are a few who did not win but Suzie wants to see your manuscripts. Mention this contest when you query her.
  

Suzie's Comments:
These were so hard to judge because so many of them were so good! The secret to an amazing pitch is balancing specifics with just enough interest to have readers going - wait, what happens next?!?!?! And what separates the good pitches from the greats? Same thing that separates good manuscripts from great ones - VOICE.

Prizes
Third Place - a query critique
Second Place - a query critique + 5 pages
First Place - query critique + 10 pages

• send query and winning pages for critique first or they can just send everything (but mention you are a winner of my contest and that you get a critique)
  
  The three manuscripts she wants to see - send Suzie the ms straight away, but include the query in the body of the email and mention the contest.
