Are you ready for some honest feedback? Want to know if your opening paragraphs are strong enough to draw in a reader, make them crave more? 


Now's your chance to find out! Get some feedback/critique on the opening page of your novel in our second Write On! ARE YOU HOOKED? critique round!

  • The submission window will open on Monday December 12th at 7:00AM EST, and will close at Friday December 16th at 7:00PM EST or when we have 15 entries--whichever comes first.
  • You must be a teenager! 13-19 years old.
  • You may submit the first 250 words of your novel, whether it is a completed work or a work-in-progress (WIP).

  1. One question. Will the screen name be taken off before posting? Or do we have to choose something very obscure and unrelated to us? :P

  2. Good question! They'll be removed before posting, but you do need to include it in the email. =)
