I too listed Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell as one of my favorite books, too (although now it's been a few years, I should go back and re-read it). And you're currently reading Ruin & Rising, too :)<br /><br />I can understand what you mean about music inspiring a book.... not this one, but one of my novels will always remind me of Rasputina's Oh Perilous World, which I listened to on a constant loop while NaNo-ing it. <br /><br />Good to meet you, and best of luck!Lise Fracalossihttp://captainecchi.livejournal.com/716655.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880959587418064473.post-57722030889967208682014-08-16T07:48:32.536-07:002014-08-16T07:48:32.536-07:00I totally think I'm going to start putting my ...I totally think I'm going to start putting my finished MSs into binders on a bookshelf.

There's also no personalization in the queries this year, so it gives mentors a chance to check us out if they want to know more about us when they're deciding who to pick!<br />Joanna Ruth Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053542093315073091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880959587418064473.post-76768120084054822662014-08-10T09:29:29.918-07:002014-08-10T09:29:29.918-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Joanna Ruth Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053542093315073091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880959587418064473.post-38265342645221791672014-08-10T02:38:35.256-07:002014-08-10T02:38:35.256-07:00Hey, I'm thinking about trying out pitch wars ...Hey, I'm thinking about trying out pitch wars this year (I have a ms all pretty and ready to submit) but I'm not clear on the details of what we're supposed to do. I get that we submit a form on the 18th that includes a pitch and a sample chapter, but what's the deal with Mentee bios? Do we have to have one? What are the requirements for them? I don't see anything about mentee bios under the submissions guidelines. Am I missing something?Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491166048513589728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880959587418064473.post-67205040966704377372014-08-08T17:34:05.259-07:002014-08-08T17:34:05.259-07:00Thank you so much, Leandra!
