Re: Re: Contest
I would suspect that I have similar criteria to Sarah. Especially when it comes to editing/grammar. I edit for a living so I'm not going to want to read something that is riddled with spelling errors, grammar mistakes, and that I need to stop and re-read every other sentence to get the meaning.

That being said, if you hook me and grab me with the story--I might overlook gross grammar issues to keep reading. But interesting and intriguing characters are a plus. A story that makes me want to ask you for more is a BIG plus.

I read a lot. I promote authors on my personal blog. So hook me and intrigue me. *Smile* I'm not going to judge you by genre or something like that because I'll read almost anything, but an interesting, well-told story? That will get my vote.
