Before you read, know this:
I read almost all of the 191 entries, but not all. There is a chance I might not have read yours! But don't worry, one of the other five slush readers did.
Also, this was INCREDIBLY subjective and hard to decide (if you follow me on Twitter, you know). More about this in tomorrow's post.
My Yes's:
In Between Them
Ratman’s Revenge
Sajiva
Missing
My Maybe's:
Supernatural Freak
His Game, Her Rules
Barnswallow Summer
Vestige
Life As I Knew It
Deadly Triggers
Dead Man’s Watch
Logos
Life Set Sail
The GAP Project
Summer Confessions
E=MC[Squared]
The Black Dragon’s Mate
Shattered
The Truth About Two Shoes
Perfect Together
The Front Range
Land of the Free
Some of my Maybe's were picked as Yes's by other slush readers! Just shows how subjective it all is.
Good luck in the contest!!! Hope you get awesome requests.
Almost two hundred? That's a lot of reading...
ReplyDeleteThanks SC for publishing this list. Sometimes it's so hard to gauge where your writing stands and making it on the maybe list gave me the extra boost I needed today. Also, a huge thanks for taking the time out of your day to host contests. I learned quite a bit from the tidbits on the twitter feeds about what not to do and hopefully it'll propel my writing/query letter to the next level.
ReplyDeleteReally appreciate yours posting the Maybe list, thank you!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love Harry Potter, too! ;)
Thanks for posting your maybes! It was a nice surprise to see LOGOS made your list. I have a feeling it was the evil query that fell short.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for sharing your time and expertise!
