More Good News from Allie at Acquisitions

Allie reports that she finally got through all the submissions that were sent in for the Lettuce Write contest. Yes, it's been 4-8 weeks for some, but she's a busy gal. She wants me to thank everyone who submitted and waited patiently for her response. She hopes you all understand that she couldn't do a thorough critique but only a brief overview of the most important points that would help each manuscript.

She is also thrilled to report ---

Six full manuscripts requested


and...........

One manuscript accepted for publication with contract signed, sealed and delivered


The manuscript that was accepted was "The Sholes Key" by Clarissa Draper, one of my favorite bloggers, and so of course since it happened through my contest, I feel like such a proud mama!!

Congratulations to Clarissa!!

And who knows, with six fulls requested (in addition to the 3 top winners), there may be more good news to come!
