Helping Out with the Brenda Novak "Search for the cure!"

I am excited to say I will be helping out once again with the Brenda Novak to help find that cure for Juvenile Diabetes. This year, I have five individual items available for auction.

Greyhaus Literary Agency has been working with Brenda Novak and the Juvenile Diabetes Association since she first started her online auction. Once again, Greyhaus is here to offer it’s support to finding a cure.

Greyhaus Literary Agency is offering 5 different opportunities to help:

3 PROPOSAL CRITIQUES:

Greyhaus Literary Agency will offer 3 individual critiques to writers of proposals. This will include the first three chapters of a manuscript, a synopsis and a query letter. Within 30 days of purchasing the critique, the author will receive from Greyhaus a written critique of the manuscript as well as a brief phone call discussing the project.

When this project was offered last on the Brenda Novak Online Auction, the winning bid went for $800.00.

The goal of this bid is a minimum of $500.00 for each of the proposal critiques.

2 SPEAKING ENGANGEMENTS FOR WRITING CHAPTERS:

Greyhaus Literary Agency will offer a visit to a writing chapter. The topic, discussion and length is all dependent on what the chapter wants. Obviously, the more support we can provide to Brenda Novak and her cause, the more Greyhaus can offer.

At a minimum, Scott will talk to the writing chapter about a topic of their choosing, and then take pitches from any author interested in pitching.

Scott can also provide up to a full weekend of workshops, keynote speaking and certainly pitches.

The value of a single day workshop is a minimum of $800, preferably $1000.
The value of a full weekend workshop is a minimum of $1500, preferably $2000.

Greyhaus Literary Agency will be responsible for transportation and lodging as well as any handouts or other workshop material.

Please stay in contact with me here on the blog or follow me on TWITTER. I will keep you updated on all that we are doing to help out.

Brenda has a big goal here of $1 million dollars! Together, I know the writing community and all of you who follow Greyhaus can get her there!

Brenda Novak Auction - It isn't too early to be thinking

I just let Brenda know what Greyhaus will be offering this year. I think for a writer, this could really be something you could grub on.

http://brendanovak.auctionanything.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2447330

6 partial critiques in 1 year. Submit every other month.

Cool huh?

Brenda Novak Auction

This is a reminder, Greyhaus Literary Agency has a critique on the Brenda Novak Online Auction for Juvenile Diabetes.

As a bonus, if the winning bidder has "LIKED" the agency on Facebook, I will double the critique. This means you either get 6 chapters or, if you wish, two stories of three chapters each.

I may add additional incentives later so stay posted.

Unlike last year, writers can only win one of the incentives.

Remember, this auction also involves a meeting with you, in New York at the National RWA Conferences. If you are unable to make that, I will "meet" with you in a phone conversation.

REMINDER - Brenda Novak Auction in May

Just want to remind everyone the annual Brenda Novak Auction will be up and running on May 1.

Check out what great things you can find there. Writers, this is a great chance for a critique!

Brenda Novak Auction - Special Greyhaus Offer!

Hey all,

As many of you know, I am a big supporter of the Brenda Novak Online Auction for Juvinile Diabetes. It's now off and running and again, I am offering two critiques for consideration.

I did want to explain my approach to the critiques:

• Both come with personal conversations. One is at RWA Nationals and the other is by phone. If you are the winning bid for the personal meeting at Nationals and can't make it, I will call you instead.
• I offer a line edit with EXTENSIVE marginal notes as to my thoughts.
• I provide an indepth multi-page written response as well.

Brenda's auction goes for a great cause and I want to really see the Greyhaus followers show Brenda what we are like. So, with that said, here is the first of several deals I will offer (in other words, I may throw more out there as well).

Respond to this email and be the winning bid and I will double the size of the critique!

I should note you will have to include your name in the post so that I can keep track. Sorry Anonymous, you will have to come out of hiding!

Scott
