Mischief Raffle to Fight Cancer -- from Moonrat who is an editorial assistant for pub house New York. She's a great help to writers!


Dear Beloved Blogging Fellows,


Recently, a friend of mine was diagnosed with Stage IV lymphoma. She is only 28 and is fighting back hard, but her valor is frustrated by the fact that she has no insurance. Medicaid will be kicking in for her in about a month, but in the meantime there are some hurdles that nothing will help her get over but money.


Of course, there are lots of benefits and pots for me to throw money in. Alas... I work in publishing and have no money. I was bemoaning this to my darling Ello, and she thought of this fantastic idea: I should raffle off my editorial services. So that's what we're going to try here.


Raffle!!


Prizes available:


-One winner: A full manuscript evaluation (up to 120,000 words)*

-One winner: A partial manuscript evaluation (up to 50 page)*

-One winner: A query letter and revised query letter critique*

-Five winners: A choice from select titles in Moonrat's library, which will be mailed with a love letter from Moonrat, who enjoys writing love letters

Go here to HELP and play!!

  1. I'm so sorry to hear about this young woman's condition, but what a fantastic way to help.

    That's about as good as this comment is going to get. The gesture floored me and now I can't come up with anything remotely intelligent.
