HUGE thanks to the agents, mentors, entrants, and my wonderful co-host who helped make Nightmare on Query Street such an awesome and successful contest. We had a record number of requests this year. With 88 requests for the Monsters and 83 for the Minions, we more than doubled last years results.

For those who want stats, here's a blog breakdown:

Nightmare on Query Street Agent Round 2015

IMPORTANT NOTE: Opera and Safari Browsers may NOT allow you to comment. Using another browser is HIGHLY recommended.
 

Time for the shivers, shrieks, and screams to begin!

Following this post is the Monster Class of 2015

You can head over to Michelle's blog to make more request (but you don't really have too. We all know I have the winning team)

My team is so amazing...

No commenting, cheerleading, etc. Only agents will be able to comment.

But CHEER OVER ON TWITTER! We're going to be under the hashtag #NoQS and we will be having FUN. So vent, be nervous, cheer each other on, and hold hands over Twitter. One of the best parts of contests is seeing how the writer's community gathers and supports each other.

I'll be looking for all my Monsters there. I expect you to be roaring louder than the Minions and Spooks. We're MONSTERS. That's what we do!

For the next two days, agents will have fun ways to request in the contest.

They can SCREAM for a full request.
They can SHRIEK for a 50 page request.
They can SHIVER for a 10 page request.

Agents can make as many requests as they want! So go wild! We have some awesome talent for you to peruse.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! Hope you all get a ton of frighteningly amazing requests!

And remember: Monsters Rule, Minions drool!
