ASK A TEEN to critique the first 5 pages of your YA manuscript!

We all know that those first five pages are crucial. Pulling the reader in... hoping they will want to read more, more, more!  


 
So, in celebration of spreading the love this Valentine's Day, 
I will be offering TEN free "Ask a Teen" 5 page feedbacks!

Here's your chance to get feedback from your target audience. A teen from my ASK A TEEN crew will read the first five pages of your manuscript (completed or WIP is fine!)and give honest feedback--what they liked, what turned them off, if they laughed, cried, or had shivers down the back of their neck. Most importantly... did those pages make them want to read more.

If you would like to have your first five pages read by a member of the AaT crew, please enter the contest through the Rafflecopter below. All MUST be YA (any genre therein is fine!)

Ten lucky winners will be selected to receive a first-five pages critique from one of the AaT crew. You have until midnight, February 14th, 2015 to enter.


Keep in mind, the teens will not be proofreading or picking out grammar mistakes...they will be addressing first impressions, characterization, pacing, and so on. And...they will tell you if based on those first five pages they would want to keep reading.

*Remember, all AaT responses are purely subjective. And if it isn't one reader's cup of tea, it doesn't mean another reader might not absolutely LOVE it!


Keep reading, keep writing, and never forget to love....
