Gateway to the Rest… I’m a finalist!

WORD Challenge = 13 pages edited

UPDATE!!! 5:19PM
I’ve just been notified that Almost Too Much was selected as the Best of the Best Winner of the Golden Opportunity contest by Evan Fogelman of the Fogelman Literary Agency! :shock:

WOW!!
——————————
Seducing the Widow just finaled in the Gateway to the Rest contest!! :grin:

Okay, so… a little history.

STW is the second manuscript I sent to the Golden Opportunity, the one that placed 6th. But when I sent it to the Gateway to the Rest contest it had been reworked with the invaluable help of Sasha. I sent it to the contest in the hopes of getting some feedback on if the changes helped the pacing, which had been problematic. I think it’s safe to say that the changes helped!! :wink:

Kelly Harms at Avon is about to get another look at my ms. Only in this version of my Golden Opportunity winner, the hero and heroine have met before.

So huge hugs and gratitude to Sasha for her help and to Cece for notifying me (since the contest coordinator sent out a listserv announcement instead of calling me. :???: )

    Jaq, thank you for the congratulations, the luck, and the vote!! I appreciate all of them very much. You can find the excerpt for ATM (which is almost identical to STW) here. I hope you enjoy it…
