Meta, this program feels a little off, to me, with its pay-to-play approach to seeking an agent. Granted, it’s a contest. But the website doesn’t seem to list any of the affiliated industry professionals, to give people a sense of what the value is, so I would be leery of its claims. Yes, it comes through WD, but the announcement/ad raises a lot of questions--at least for me.
Thank you, Meta! I've taken a long break from being plugged in to anything, including Substack, and it was a pleasure to dive back in with this. I'll check them out. I'm in the throws of searching for an agent. I understand their difficulties--searching for a story/writer that they not only enjoy, but who can have commercial financial benefit. On my side, it's difficult to keep the confidence bright and fresh during the search!
