Great premise and I agree about just jumping in and starting your story with Annie. I had a prologue in my story originally and decided to take it out. Best of luck!

I really liked the premise of this. ...Hey, Cuyler!<br /><br />I really liked the premise of this. And I think my guest coach, Stacey, would really love this--since she sold her historical YA to Penguin recently and it was about the gold rush, too. <br /><br />So, your main character is Annie. And I didn't get to feel her voice. The page you put there sounds like a prologue, and that's the thing about prologues and contests--they usually use a different voice. So, I'd like to read a few more pages. <br /><br />Can you send Annie's first five pages my way? Email them pasted on the body of the email to: moni.bwATgmailDOTcom. <br /><br />Thanks!! <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482654021641010175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6763133400847383559.post-52298527912431433142014-05-04T04:37:34.507-07:002014-05-04T04:37:34.507-07:00Thank you!
