The 2014 Baker's Dozen Agent Auction Winners

Another fine auction!  If you didn't get a chance to follow along during that fiery first hour-or-so yesterday, head over to #BakersDozen2014 on Twitter and scroll through the fun.  My Tweet Divas did a great job tweeting the bids!  (Better than I did, for sure--what was I thinking, trying to tweet and moderate the auction simultaneously??)

Congratulations, all!

Winners:  Please email me at facelesswords(at)gmail.com with the following:  Your post number, title, the agent who won you, and the amount of the request.  This will facilitate my getting you the correct submission information quickly and easily.

IMPORTANT:  Do not query the agents who bid on your work but did not win.  After a 1-week exclusive with your winning agent, the non-winners will have the opportunity to request your work.  In fact, some have already done so.  So please sit tight!  I've got your back.

A huge THANK YOU to absolutely everybody.  This was a smashing success.

  1. Yay!! Congrats to all the winners.

    And hugs to anyone who didn't get requests. You and your work are still awesome. Do not forget that you made it into the BD, and that is not a small feat at all.

  2. Thank you to Authoress, everyone who wrote critiques, including the authors and editors, and the agents for participating. There's always hope for writers who didn't have their submissions selected. My critique partner wasn't chosen during a previous Secret Agent contest, queried and found a great agent a couple of months later, and sold the losing manuscript to a major publisher.

  3. HA! HA! I WON ONE. Some day I shall own this auction. On that day your heads will be upon pikes and I shall feast on the tears of your widows and widowers. Or I'll probably just have a gingerbread coffee and talk smack but whatever. Drama is key.
