Freelance Editor CA Marshall's FREE EDIT CONTEST!


I think its time for another FREE EDIT contest, don't you? 

Just like last time, I'm giving away a FREE substantial edit! (That's plot, pacing, character development, etc, up to 100k words) to one lucky reader!

Contest is open worldwide (but has to be in English) as everything is done by email. I can wait up to a month for you to finish your MS if it isn't finished by September 20th, SO GET WRITING!


UPDATE: THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!


Thank you to all who entered!

What a great prize!! You're amazing :)

And thank you for telling me how to get the single tweet on a page - I've never known that! :)

C Scott Morris | 6 September 2010 16:15

Ooh, another chance! I tried last time you did this. Got my fingers crossed...

Larissa | 6 September 2010 16:48

I just entered, but I'm not sure if I have 5 or 4 entries (is there one for entering, and then the additional ones for following?).

Anyway, I have been meaning to email you to see if you'd like to donate an edit for a charity auction I'm doing. Details are on my blog here: http://lchardesty.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-need-your-help.html

Thanks! :)

Michelle | 6 September 2010 16:56

I've already benefitted from your generosity, so I'm not entering, but I just had to give a shout out to you for doing this again.

Best wishes, everyone! Cassandra's edits are awesome!

Michelle | 6 September 2010 19:51

Okay, she says I can enter again, folks. I'd be crazy not to! Good luck!

Jenna | 6 September 2010 19:55

Okay, you rock. I'm totally entering. :D

Amalia T. | 6 September 2010 21:53

I'm all over this. I am EVEN going to blog about it, which is something I rarely do! Thanks for the opportunity!

Vicki | 6 September 2010 22:04

Yeah! 2nd time's the charm, right? And the contest ends on my birthday, so I'm feeling extra lucky. Thanks for giving us the Twitter single link info. I couldn't figure that out last time.

Best of luck to everyone! And thanks, Cassandra!

coffeelvnmom | 7 September 2010 02:28

Thanks for this great opportunity, Cassandra! =)

Good luck to all!

Flint Ory | 7 September 2010 08:36

You're awesome Cassandra! What a great opportunity. (crossing my fingers)

Jaimie | 7 September 2010 09:13

I was following you on blogger and RSS, but not Google. I started following you on Google but still gave myself +2 for old following. Hope that's okay.

Thanks for this awesome contest!

Connie | 7 September 2010 11:36

Awesome! Thanks for the opportunity.

Reena Jacobs | 7 September 2010 14:19

Thanks for the contest. It's always nice to see what agents are looking for.

Michelle | 7 September 2010 14:28

Such a generous offering. Good luck everyone!

Julie Lindsey | 7 September 2010 15:20

So excited to be a part of this contest! How awesome is this prize? It will be very difficult to work for a 1 page crit ever again LOL!! Thanks Cassandra!

Lisa | 7 September 2010 18:38

Great contest! Thanks!

PS - I notice we're both in Ravenclaw :)

pensees | 7 September 2010 23:59

Christine Fonseca | 8 September 2010 08:13

Hey CA - left something for you on my blog today! http://christinefonseca.wordpress.com/

Jessie | 8 September 2010 16:38

wow - totally amazing prize!

thegracefuldoe | 9 September 2010 07:54

I could have sworn I already followed your blog, but turns out I didn't. Great contest!

Erica Chapman | 9 September 2010 09:57

Fantastic contest!! It's so generous of you to offer this ;o)

Good luck everyone!

thegracefuldoe | 9 September 2010 20:07

If I want to do a mini-interview with you for my blog do I just e-mail you?

C.A. Marshall | 9 September 2010 20:38

thegracefuldoe, Sure thing! Send an email to camarshallwrites (AT)gmail(DOT)com!

Thanks for a great contest and prize. Have a good weekend : )

Awesome Contest. Thanks for doing this.

Laura Pauling | 10 September 2010 19:10

Awesome! Thanks!!

Ted Cross | 11 September 2010 03:09

It's awesome that you would do this, though I'm not sure if you like my genre (epic fantasy/sci-fi blend).

Rachael Harrie | 11 September 2010 03:09

Cassandra, what a fantastic prize! Would love to win :)

C.A. Marshall | 11 September 2010 03:22

Hey Ted! A good 80% of what I edit is YA, but I have edited F/SF before and loved it. If you win, no worries!

LTM | 11 September 2010 10:55

fun stuff! Thanks~ :o)

Martha Ramirez | 11 September 2010 12:02

This is awesome! Hope to win!!

Roland D. Yeomans | 11 September 2010 13:31

I, of course, will not win. My strange luck doesn't work that way.

I just wanted to say "Thanks" on behalf of all my fellow struggling writers. I wish your agent and publishing dreams come true for you soon. Roland

DiDi Hendley | 11 September 2010 14:04

Great post-look forward to reading your blog. Sorry-I was performing acts down your list and didn't see the instructions for posting the link. Great to know how to do that! Hope my "fix" worked. Looking forward to blogging about it too...thanks for this awesome opportunity.

Janet Johnson | 11 September 2010 16:22

You're so generous to offer this prize! I've put you on my sidebar, but I'll definitely have to do a blog this coming week.

Joan Park | 11 September 2010 17:27

this is an AMAZING contest! Thank you so much!! *fingers crossed*

Theresa Milstein | 11 September 2010 20:35

This would be a dream come true win for me. But it's definitely not helping that I don't have a Twitter account. Even though it doesn't get me extra points, I'm going to post this contest on Facebook.

Matthew Rush | 11 September 2010 21:27

Crap. I'm in the middle of a rewrite and don't have a full ready.

Still, you're really awesome for doing this and certainly deserve commendation!

TerryLynnJohnson | 12 September 2010 11:43

This is a truly amazing contest. I'm not entering, but wanted to say kudos to you! I may email you to see if you want to honour my blog with an interview.

welovetea | 12 September 2010 14:53

This is great! I just stumbled across your blog but will have to come back again.

We have the same name. Sweet. *g*

Serenissima | 12 September 2010 22:39

Ooooo, great contest! I'm so in!

Off to go blog about it...

Sharon K. Mayhew | 12 September 2010 23:41

Awesome contest...I'm new, but I'm putting you on my sidebar. :)

Lynda Young | 14 September 2010 00:48

Awesome contest for a very lucky winner :)

Carolina Valdez Miller | 14 September 2010 13:37

My heart is breaking because I didn't discover this before. I could've been earning serious entryage. :(

But how cool of you to offer such a contest.

Samantha Clark | 18 September 2010 13:05

Great contest, Cassandra. Thanks!

Becca | 20 September 2010 02:07

I almost missed this one! You rock! Who ever wins will be very lucky!

janet | 20 September 2010 10:41

Boy, I agree with the commenter above. I hate that I found out so late in the game. It is really amazing that you are willing to give of yourself like this. Thank you, and good luck to everyone. (But I hope I win, lol)

Shelley Watters | 20 September 2010 11:24

I'm so sad that I didn't get to enter every day while I was on vacation! I guess my blog readers will just have to be happy with the six or so blogs that I dedicated to your contest! :)

Great contest.

bryan sabol | 20 September 2010 22:26
