First lines: We have a winner!

by Jim

We have a winner from last week’s poll! At the end of the business day on Thursday, the author who had accumulated the most votes was K whose “I wondered if the girl at the front desk knew that things like me existed,” garnered a healthy 236 votes!

So K, bring it on! Send me your manuscript, and I’ll review it promptly.

Everyone else, don’t be discouraged if you weren’t chosen as a finalist or if you didn’t win. Do feel free to query me—there were lots of great entries!

  6. Please post updates about 'K' and if the ms is as good as the first line. It made me want to read more. What a shame we have to wait!

    This was my favorite and not just in the poll but from when it was first posted.

    Congrats all around.

  11. Like everyone else I just wanted to thank you for having the contest Jim! I never expected to be a finalist so you brightened up my week!

    And congrats to the other finalists and the other people who entered. Everyone had terrific lines! Of course the biggest congrats goes to K but that's understood :)

    My only regret is that you don't rep young adult. But no worries, I'm sure the rest of the agents at D&G will be just as awesome!
