Memoir Contest: Seven Hours Left!

Sorry that I just learned about this contest today. But if you have a memoir manuscript ready to go, it won’t matter.  All you have to do is follow the guidelines at this Guide to Literary Agents website.

Good luck!

    I'm not sure if my comment already went through but I shall write again. Thaks for the contest info. My FLIP video took too lng to upload, so I didn't make the EST cut. Anyway, I have completed the revisions as you can tell. Thanks Shirley for the Chicken Soup info. Have you entered? I like the health and fitness category as a new approach for me to write about.
  • Great, Sonia. Glad you could get something out of this. I sent a message to Katharine Sands. Remember her from SBWC?
