Wow! I entered the Emerald City Opener Contest hosted by the Greater Seattle Chapter of the RWA in June/09 with my YA manuscript ALMOST PERFECT.
And then the summer unfolded and I was occupied with reading and researching for my next book.
On the day when the contest organizers said they would phone finalists, I walked around with my cell phone in my pocket. No call.
The next evening after watching a movie at the local university and then visiting a friend, I went on-line and checked my email around midnight.
Oh yes! ALMOST PERFECT is a final round entry in the Novel with Strong Romantic Elements category of the Emerald City Opener Contest.
I’m thrilled. As a bonus – I’m signed up to attend the conference with some writing colleagues. Total fun!
Fabulous news!
Congratulations, Jodie! I’m attending ECWC, too, and will be cheering mightily!
