Good news, today. I've been talking with the Irene Goodman agency (
www.irenegoodman.com), and they've signed on for the 2009 Literary Awards Program. They'll be reviewing the top three prize winners, selected by Pagan Kennedy next August.
Of course, it's up to them whether or not they decide to represent the winning authors, and they won't be available to provide feedback if they decide to not take you on, but it's a great chance to get to the top of the pile and have an exciting agency take a look at your work.
www.sfwpawards.com is being updated and, as we come closer to launching the 2009 site (hopefully sometime in September), I'll provide more details on all aspects of the Program. Stay tuned to the forums, and to the Blog (
