We are very pleased to announce that once again, a number of editors and literary agents have agreed to read the work of all the finalists. In the previous contest, each finalist received a request to send a full manuscript from at least one editor. Though we can’t promise that will happen again, we are confident that our finalists will be well received by the panel.
Please note: We are still adding members and/or information to our Panel of Experts.
