Keep Calm And Query On WINNER!

Hi everyone! Wow, we had a huge response to Luke Reynold's awesome and inspiring post about courage, both here and on twitter. I think so many of us can relate to his analogy, not only for querying, but for so many parts of the writing and publishing process. It requires a lot of courage to say the words, I am a writer. It takes a lot of courage to ask someone to critique our work. And it especially requires a lot of courage to take that final step into publication by actively sending our stories out the door.

So here's to courage! I am so proud of every one of you, and the determination you show each day as you create, strive and improve. No matter where you are on the path, courage will keep you moving toward your goals.

Okay, I know everyone wants me to shut up an announce a winner! The Random.org Gods have conferred, and the person winning author Luke Reynold's generous prize of a Query critique, phone chat to discuss writing/querying & a copy of his inspiring book, Keep Calm And Query On is...*drumroll*
