Congratulations to the 2011 PNWA Literary Contest Finalists!
What an incredible honor this is— and the Critique Sisters would like to congratulate all finalists. If you recognize a name on the list below, please let them know we are honoring their great achievement.
Winners will be announced at the summer conference in Seattle Washington, August 4-7, 2011.
I am honored to be among these finalists with my Aviation Thriller, Flight For Control. I’ve had incredible support along the way, and I'm now knocking on the door to publication. Thank you all for your help, and encouragement.
More exciting news:
Loretta has been waiting patiently for my rewrite. She said, “Take your time, we both want it perfect.” And perfect it is thanks to hiring Christine Hollingsworth to do my final edit. We all know that it’s impossible to see your own mistakes—we’re just too close. Christine, The Novel Mechanic, has the tools that found and fixed all my mistakes and she provided great insight and suggestions ... at an affordable price!
I’m excited to be on this road to publication, since I spend most of the time in the sky. Seriously, I think it takes a team to publish a novel.
Thank You Everyone!
and
Congratulations Finalists!
