Book Wish Foundation (bookwish) | 1 comments Are you an aspiring writer? Would you like to win a manuscript critique from a literary agent or renowned author? Enter Book Wish Foundation's essay contest at bookwish.org/contest. Manuscript critiques are being offered as prizes by three literary agents and three authors involved in our new young adult book, What You Wish For: A Book for Darfur:

Laura Langlie, literary agent for Meg Cabot

Nancy Gallt, literary agent for Jeanne DuPrau

Brenda Bowen, literary agent and editor of Karen Hesse's Newbery Medal winner Out of the Dust

Ann M. Martin, winner of the Newbery Honor for A Corner of the Universe

Francisco X. Stork, winner of the Amelia Elizabeth Walden Award for The Last Summer Of The Death Warriors

Cynthia Voigt, winner of the Newbery Medal for Dicey's Song and the Newbery Honor for A Solitary Blue

Visit bookwish.org/contest for full details about the essay contest. Essays are due Feb. 1, 2012. If you win, you will have six months to submit your manuscript, so it's okay if you don't have one ready for review right now. This is a rare opportunity to get feedback from some of the biggest names in young adult and middle grade literature.

Good luck to all entrants!
