First Lines Contest

First and Last Annual Class of 2k7 First Line Matching Game

It’s been said that many editors judge a manuscript by its first line. So, writers work hard at making their first lines “pop!” See if you can match the first lines with the Class of 2k7 books. Whoever gets the most right will win an array fabulous and lavish prizes!

But be forewarned…it’s not as easy as you might think!

Directions:
1) Go to the list of first lines and titles on our site
2) Match each first line with its novel/author (you can print out the lists to make it easier)
3) Email your entry with “2k7 Matching” in the subject line in the form of a number sequence (i.e. 9, 12, 3, …) to Eric. Please include your name and contact information (your information will not be used for anything other than the purposes of this contest).

All entries must be received by August 15, 2007. (Our previous deadline has been extended!)

The winner will receive 3 of the following 5 fabulous prizes (at our discretion):

1. a collection of ARCs written by members of the Class of 2k7;
2. recognition on our blog;
3. a flight in an invisible jet to the secret Class of 2k7 hideout where you will be imbued with super powers and help fight crime with the rest of us;
4. our eternal praise and respect;
5. a pirate chest filled with jewels.

Good Luck!
