I'm kind of a little thrilled to say my novel SHIFT, a paranormal story about a girl who can shapeshift (but nothing to do with werewolves!), has advanced to the second round of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest. There were 5,000 entries in the YA category and 1,000 advanced. This means that our pitches were successful enough to get past a couple of Amazon editors who were judging.
Next step: excerpt reading by the panel. Only 250 will move on from there to the Quarterfinal Round. What, me nervous? Nah!
Congrats to the other 999 writers too!
