No, not the holidays, although they are just around the corner. It’s Golden Heart time! Time to polish up those manuscripts and enter them in RWA’s most prestigious contest for unpublished manuscripts. And if you’re published, it’s time to enter the RITA and start dreaming of that golden statue adorning your mantel.
Since I have not sold yet (time out for a deep sigh), I’m entering the GH again — in the Young Adult and Novel with Strong Romantic Elements categories. I’ve got four manuscripts entered. I’ve already printed out and prepared two for submission. I’m finishing up revisions and the synopsis on a third this week, then will just have some last-minute revisions on the fourth. I plan to have them all sent off to RWA well in advance of the deadline. I don’t like cutting things close.
What about the rest of you? Are you entering? If so, how many mss and what categories?

Good luck in the GH, Trish. Keeping my fingers crossed that this is your year to be disqualified–because you’ve SOLD.

I’m probably entering - but still holding out for another few days I guess before I decide. I didn’t enter last year - and missed out on all the nail-biting fun. I will enter one for sure in long contemporary. I’d love to do two - but just not sure I can get it done in time.
Good Luck Trish!

I’m thinking about it… My agent says wait till it’s closer to cut off time. So I won’t be out 50 bucks if I sell before then. Of course, if I enter now, I’m almost guaranteed to sell! The fates will make sure I’m out my money. LOL Hmmm.
