Meet the 2017 Query Kombatants!
The time is finally here! Time to release my Kombatants onto the unsuspecting public!
The choice was excruciating. The hosts agonized, weighing this query against that 250. We received hundreds of amazing entries. Of course, making it into a contest is no indication of the quality of your query. Many people who don't make it into contests find agents the tried-and-true way, by querying. (Ahem, me!) Thanks to everyone who entered and everyone who made the Twitter party so fun!
To those who didn't make it into the tournament, you donned your armor and dared to dreamed of victory. You boldly walked into an arena filled with gladiators, and you didn't so much as flinch or break a sweat. There are none braver than those who try, fail, and try again. I'm begging you to be brave, because all you need is talent and drive. Luck and success will follow. Don't give up. Don't doubt yourself. And...if you do, tweet me. I'll find an army to come and lift your spirits if I have to.
You will succeed. All you have to do is believe in yourself. We hope to see you on the #QKCrit tag next week.
To those who made it--CONGRATULATIONS! Out of 367 entries, you made it into the top 64. You bit, you clawed, you bled, and you MADE IT! I want you to take to Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Instagram, Wikipedia, Dictionary.com...I don't care. Celebrate! Do it loud. And in the midst of your celebration, I want you to help me lift the spirits of those who didn't make it. Use the #QueryKombat hashtag to connect with and celebrate your fellow slushies. Tweet your sagest query advice, or that quote that kept you going when you were down and out, or your grandmother's secret chocolate chip cookie recipe ('cause mmmm.....!). We're more than a community; we're a family. Spread the love.
To see Mike's and Michelle's picks, check out their blogs. Kombatants don't miss the rules on judging and commenting included at the bottom of this post. Without further adieu, meet TEAM WRITEY MCWRITERFACE!
