Literary Agent Nathan Bransford just wrapped up a fun little contest. The idea of it was to get people to post the first paragraph of their work to be judged by him. Winners get small prizes, it seems more a pat yourself on the back kind of deal I suppose. It seemed fun though so I entered.

I thought I should share it with my readers as well. This is from my newest draft which hasn’t been updated on my books page (I should get on that). So I hope everyone enjoys. He announces the finalists tomorrow. Since it had over 2500 entries, I’m not exactly holding my breath. One can hope though!

Any of my readers enter it?

Seated facing them on the dais, one hundred high lords and priestesses were now talking amongst themselves.
