In addition, one of our PBs came to the agent round with an offer on the table, and one of our adult finalists, WITCHCRAFT & WHISKEY, had to bow out of the agent round because it received an offer. (Luckily, we had an alternate waiting in the wings!)

Also, I just want to say that, if you didn't get a like--or even if you didn't get picked as a finalist--I still believe in you, and I hope you believe in you, too. The only trait every published author has in common is persistence, so keep bashing your head against that brick wall until it comes crumbling down.

Last but certainly not least, THANK YOU. Whether you were an agent, an entrant, or a finalist, I couldn't have done this without you. And I REALLY couldn't have done this without PB partner-in-crime Tara Shiroff. Thank you for your insights and your boundless optimism.

Until next year!
