the Host Saves
These are three entries that we three hosts will pick from our teams to move on to the agent round but not on to Round 2. Check out Michelle's and Mike's picks as well.
I picked my host save by which entry I thought was the most unique. There was no way I'd be able to choose based on my favorite, what I'd want to read the most, or what I think would get the most requests. That's just impossible from such a strong group of entries. So I went for the wildest, craziest, funnest entry I saw :)
My Host Save will be:
....
....
Strange Fruit! Congrats!!!
For all other #Writerbees, fallen and standing, DON'T EVER GIVE UP!!!
For all the winners and the Host Saves:
You have until noon EST Friday to send in your revisions to querykombat (at) yahoo (dot) com. You can revise any part of your entry and we recommend you use the suggestions you received in Round (and your gut, of course) to make the revisions! Use the same format we gave for sending in submissions to send in your revisions.
