HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!

By Kris Kahrs

The bloggers here at The Pen & Ink Blog are thrilled to announce that this November is the 2nd - yes, you read that right - the second blogiversary of The Pen & Ink Blog. Whoopee! Did I mention we are thrilled? I’ve had goldfish that have not lasted this long. In celebration of this momentous occasion, in a moment of wild abandon and breathy adoration (except for Lupe, who feels this sentence involves entirely too much bodice ripping) of you our devoted readers, we humbly offer:

THE PEN AND INK BLOG’S 

2ND BLOGIVERSARY 

QUERY CRITIQUE 

(Ha! Try saying that five times fast.) 

2011 is almost over and what better way to start off 2012 than to revamp your query letter with a fresh critique from a new set of eyes? Send us a one page query for your manuscript’s pitch anytime between November 1st and November 30th and we will pinch, prod, harangue, opine and generally read and critique it for you. Your submissions will remain private and confidential and neither query nor critique will be shared on The Pen & Ink Blog. All genres are welcomed, whether the manuscript is a picture book text, early reader, middle-grade or young adult.

Did I mention it’s free? Yes, it is, because that’s just the way we roll here, however….if you could maybe, ‘like’ The Pen & Ink Blog or ‘like’ our FB page or become a follower or give us a link on your website or blog or… well, you get the idea.

Only one submission per author please. We cannot guarantee you instant success, but if you do get a contract, we will claim the credit for it. Act Now! Don’t Delay! The Pen & Ink Blog is standing by.

Send your queries to: penink04@gmail.com and we will try to turn it around faster than you can say SCBWI.

  6. I don't know what I'm missing . . . but I've tried 3 times to send my query to that email address and it keeps getting bounced back . . .

    Is anyone else having a problem?
