Hi Falen,
it's a contest where you get to submit your query. Readers of the blog will not critique the query but will simply say "yes I'm hooked" or "no I'm not" with a one sentence explanation. Some number of queries with the most "yes" responses will be invited to submit pages from the manuscript for critique. It's not a secret agent thing. Best for testing out the effectiveness of a query!

You should look for queries that hook you and vote YES for them.  |

My crit partner got in! I didn't enter because I'm already in two other contests and I don't want to drive myself crazy.
Good luck to everyone!
