Have a proposal read for charity

My kick-ass agent, Jennifer Jackson, is donating her time to Brenda Novak’s auction to support research for Diabetes.

In a little less than 15 hours, my entry in Brenda Novak’s auction to support research for Diabetes goes live. It’s a one day auction and the bidding starts at a mere $2. (Yep, just $2.)

I’m offering to read and evaluate a proposal (defined as three chapters - up to 50pp - plus a synopsis) of an unpublished manuscript. I will also meet with the winner at RWA National for a drinks date to discuss that proposal or other publishing questions. Since I know I have a number of readers on this blog who may not be attending, I’d also be open to meeting at other conferences I’m attending (such as Readercon or Bouchercon).

Bidding is here,
and it’s really easy to sign up and get a bidder ID.

There are other amazing auctions and the cause is very worthy. I encourage you to check it out and bid.

    This entry’s HTML has messed up its post in the LJ feed (you have a href twice in the initial link from what I can tell).

    Cool beans, though. If I had a manuscript that was worth review (and in the genre) I’d totally bid!

      Thanks! I think it’s fixed now.

      All genres welcome! I represent suspense, mystery, romance, women’s fiction, fantasy, science fiction, YA, and other commercial novel-length fiction.

        Any interest in lesbian fiction?

          It would depend on the story itself, really, though my colleague Cameron McClure is interested in GBLT fiction - you can read her bio on our official website - http://www.maassagency.com/agents.html
