I had been so obsessed with the deadline for the full manuscript, I hadn’t actually considered the Final Five elimination schedule.
Here’s how the Final Five will be pared down to one. And for your information, the final manuscript standing wins a $2,000 advance and will be published by Dorchester Publishing in November or December, 2010.

About this blog
Christy Finn is a 26-year-old super-heroine residing in Southern California somewhere between Los Angeles County and Orange County. Her amazing sidekick is a Pomeranian-papillon mix named Duchess because, well, she rules. When Finny escapes from her undercover job in academia, she spends her time reading, writing, and watching hockey games. Oh, and she goes on missions to save the world. Of course. This is why she is often sleepy and cranky. Give her coffee and chocolate, and she'll rejuvenate in a matter of minutes. Her current project is a YA paranormal to-be-determined, and her goal is to make PRO status start submitting her manuscript to agents by the end of 2010. She's been a member of the RWA since 2006 and prefers to keep her true identity hidden (so as not to have bad guys chasing her all over SoCal, natch).
2009 NaNo!

No matter where you place, you will get feedback! With so many agents and publishers handing out form rejections like they were star stickers for effort, that is priceless!
Best of luck to you!

@Jennifer
You’re totally right. I am waiting to hear the feedback so I know what I can improve on in the next round of revisions/rewrites!
