Smart Bitch Publishing is now opening its doors – ha, just kidding. Or are we? We forget!
SBP is currently seeking query letters for our new imprint: Why Heroines with Amnesia (WHA?)! We’re hoping you can provide us with an outstanding amnesia storyline, replete with things we can’t quite remember clearly. We’re giving you a wide playgound for creativity, because there were rules but since we hit our heads on Fabio’s man-titty, we haven’t been able to recall what they were. Or what our names are, but we can still remember the basics of potty training. And bitching. We’re good at that, too.
Anyway!
WORD LIMIT: 450 words
FORMAT: Give us the proposed title and length
And then, the summary of your amnesia story! We want to know your characters, their conflict, your theme – and the only requirement is that the heroine (or the hero) MUST suffer from amnesia!
Forget the last part of the standard query about your publishing experience and the part where you kiss up. We know we’re awesome, and we know you are, too.
DUE DATE: Send your entries to both Sarah and Candy by Friday, February 17, 2006.
We want your query synopsis, before we forget why we asked. Entries will be posted for Bitchery voting, and winner will receive a gift certificate for Amazon.com, and a fine piece of literature, only I can’t remember which one.
Pesky amnesia.
Ah, just the thing I need to avoid writing that next book proposal. Thank you for a better way to procrastinate than watching Olympic curling and making sure all my Tupperware containers have matching lids. It won’t be a lost week after all!
Sweet contest. Count me in.
BTW, for length, is it the length of the summary (translation: how many words it is)?
Lauri
PS: I love your website! :coolsmile:
Oh man, Olympics coverage. I watch sports I wouldn’t dream of following if they are on tv from the Olympics. Like curling. A big rock and a broom and I am fascinated. Seriously, it’s dangerous, those Olympics.
And the Word Limit is for the summary itself. Your title doesn’t have to be included in the world limit.
Glad you like the site and the contest!
Sarah, it turns out my WHA? entry features a guy who lost his memory in a freak curling accident. I’m not kidding.
HA!
Well, you know, those rocks are damn heavy. At least, they look heavy. On the tv. Which I can’t look away from. Damn you curling!
I’m so excited about…uh…whatever that thing was you posted about. And I wanted to ask if I should put my…uh…whatever it was in an attachment or in the body of the email.
Thanks!
Either way is fine. Attachments are perfectly ok for either of us.
What were you talking about again?
I haven’t even started and already I’m forgetting some shit.
Please ‘splain the word count thingy again. I’m forgetful as of late.
Is it possible that y’all would just unremember the word count limit??? I NEED THESE ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS!!!
