I'm a bit behind, after being buried in school work for so long (on a side note - I passed my first term! My prof said "Rarely have I seen characters so conflicted in every aspect of their lives" - which I'm pretty sure is a good thing. LOL!).
Brenda Novak is running her 5th annual auction to benefit diabetes research. As I was looking through the items up for auction, I stumbled upon TONS of critiques up for auction.
Here's critiques/readings being offered by acquiring editors. And here's critiques/readings being offered by agents. And finally, critiques/readings being offered by published authors. Also up for auction are writing craft books and classes (and of course, less writerly things like big screen TV's, laptops, etc.).
All very fun, and for a good cause!
I did see it but haven't looked at it lately. I wonder if more crits have been added? That auction thing is such a cool idea.
I thought it was a cool idea too, and so many people seem to be bidding! I doubt I could afford any of the crits, but I love that the money is going for research.
