I'm very excited by the whole thing. I've judged entries for the Fire and Ice contest, and I know how exciting it is to find a story you can't wait to see on a shelf soon (Yes, Heather--that's YOU!).<br /><br />Thanks so much!Sarah M.

I know who judge #16 is... <br /><br />Actually, I know all three judges who had the extreme pleasure of reading Indian Princess, and I heard them discuss what a fabulous entry it was, and how they want to see it on the book shelf so they can read the whole story.<br /><br />As the coordinator, I know the talent and years of experience behind those judges opinions. <br /><br />Because the Golden Rose holds a strict policy of anonymity for the judges, you really don't know who thought your entry was fabulous. But I will share that the three that judged Indian Princess are awesome writers, great storytellers, and veterans in the world of romance fiction.<br /><br />This contest is about more than the rose we present every year, or the new writers discovered. It's about celebrating the awesome stories and amazing writers.<br /><br />Dance and celebrate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932729936859104311.post-76714295921827095612010-10-14T21:49:32.182-05:002010-10-14T21:49:32.182-05:00Congratulations, Sarah!

Be sure to tell your agent (and editor if you have one-on-one contact) that this ms just finaled in the writing contest and it's now being judged by an editor at Harlequin.
