Just seen this on Snowbooks’ blog.

Send in 500 words and a mini bio for a chance to get your work showcased on a publisher’s site.

Thanks Dee. That looks very interesting. Does anyone know exactly what a hook line is? Is it just a sentence to hook readers into the work? Shouldn't the writing do that?

hook line

Since they've specified a 25 word max. I assume it's a blurb.

I'm on it now as snowcase #4!

And have you seen Emma's comment, Caroline?

Yep - have sent the full!

Did she ask for it?! That's fantastic!!!

Dee

Yes. It's a long shot for all the other 119,500 words to impress, but whatever the eventual outcome, this has cheered me up after a weekend of groaning into the keyboard saying "I'm crap, I'm crap."

It’s very encouraging, even if she doesn’t take it on. Good luck!

Dee

That's really exciting, Caro - well done!

And as a result of the Snowcase, I've also just had a request from Jane Judd for the first three chapters & synopsis. At least the first 500 words must be OK - I just hope they don't think it starts to suck round about word 501.

Caro

WOW!!!

Wow!! It's like magic!! Amazing.

I went to meet Emma B today. She's right nice.

Yes, Emma sounds dead nice by email, and she has pictures of sweet little ponies on her blog, so she must be OK.

Where can we read the snowcased entries?
