Round 3 will go up on Mike’s blog at on June 14—in four days! But there’s a reason for this long time gap.
What is that reason?
The winners of this round (listed below) are going to be paired up with some of our AMAZING mentors. Each mentor will help two entries in getting their queries and 250 into ship-shape, Kombating mode.
Be careful. The winners below have until 8 PM EST June 12 to send in their entries to QueryKombat(at)yahoo(dot)com. No corrections will be made after that, so make sure your entry is ready to go.
ANNNNDDD
We'll have our amazing 10 agents come AFTER the entire contest is over (beginning of June) to make requests! They'll peruse these 16 entries and make requests at that time (they're going to do their 'Query Kombat Agent Voting' stuff in the Final Four). Yes, it will be AMAZING. SO many great entries, helped along by the AMAZING critiques you have been giving them, will be displayed for agent interest!
THIS IS AWESOME!
