The First Page Challenge is now closed

Thanks to everyone who submitted!

David Brown here—contest screener.

We received nearly 400 entries with 20% purchasing the optional feedback. In other words, I have my work cut out for me. I plan to get through the last submissions in my inbox this weekend and then send the shortlist to Michelle for final judging by Monday. She generally reads them all over a few times, carefully considering the strengths of each. 

You can expect an announcement about the winners by mid-October. If you purchased feedback, you will hear from me in the next couple weeks.

All the best :)
