Rose City Romance Writer's is my chapter and we do try hard to run a good contest--beginning with getting great editors for the final round.<BR/><BR/>Though you didn't final, do use the comments that resonated with you to improve your manuscript. As so many people loved your characters, I think you have the hardest thing done.<BR/><BR/>By the way, my favorite craft resource is: "Self-editing for Fiction Writers." It is my bible for checking my manuscripts before I submit. Written by two editors from a major publishing house, it is practical and easy to read and understand. Good luck with future entries and/or a sale in your future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11223775779276377505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041496414734394229.post-37427262453503497182007-10-18T16:47:00.000-05:002007-10-18T16:47:00.000-05:00Great post.

I've found that I can even find something I can use in a bad evaluation. It all depends on how you look at things. :) Good luck with your future entries!Jennifer Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133239078169479100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041496414734394229.post-75352993429339007382007-10-18T13:51:00.000-05:002007-10-18T13:51:00.000-05:00Amber, Thanks for posting this.

It's fascinating to compare what different readers say about your work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
