So I’m taking part in this. If you didn’t know, author Jo Leigh lost her husband to cancer, and the medical bills are astronomical. Through the organizational efforts of Allison Kent, we’re auctioning off various goods and services. All proceeds go to help Jo pay off those medical bills.
This is what I’m offering:
Full Manuscript critique, including query letter help
(From the auction description) author for ACE and ROC (and Berkley Sensation) offers a full manuscript (romance / fantasy (which includes UF) / SF) critique and help with query letter for same manuscript, to be submitted to Ann within 6 months of auction.
If you’ve ever wanted my opinion on your book, this is your chance. I’ll give you an honest opinion on what your book needs to make it salable, and I’ll work with you to help you get there. I guess you could call this mentoring, too, because I’ll help you until your book is ready for you to start submitting to agents and editors. I’ll also help you write a totally kick-ass query letter. I’ll make myself available for attagirl (or boy) emails to help you deal with rejections, and I’ll answer any questions you might have about the process.
Signed copies of Grimspace and Wanderlust
If you’re not a writer, but a fan, now you can get signed, personalized copies of my books without traveling to see me. My next appearance will be in Orlando, but this will get you hooked up much sooner.
So that’s the deal. I hope these auctions do some good.
Oooh, I am so bidding on you.
I am hoping to bid on some manuscript critques also. I may go broke bidding on everything.
Kudos, Ann!
You’ve just cemented any of the comments I made earlier in the week. Supportive? Generous? Without a doubt.
If life didn’t suck so badly here right now, I’d be first in line for bidding! (Well, okay, so probably not first. I’m always late to the party…but I hope you know what I mean)
What a great idea! Thanks for putting up an item for this great cause!
