CONTEST: Worst Logline Ever!

Author:

Hey, everyone--

The Guide to Literary Agents and its editor, Chuck Sambuchino, are hosting a hilarious contest... the search for The Worst Storyline Ever!

Basically, they're looking for loglines... and the lamer, stupider, and more ridiculous the better.

The winner gets a query
letter critique from Chuck, a follow-up phone call to discuss the query
critique, a plan of action for seeing your work published, and copies of the 2009 Guide to Literary Agents and the 2009 Writer's Market. Runners up will receive a free copy of either the 2009 Guide to Literary Agentsor the 2009 Writer's Market.

Either way, this contest sounds like a blast... click HERE to check it out!

(Oh-- and the deadline is the end of August...)
