Hey all,

NEW RACERS: Visit this post for full details on how this game is played.

Snoop and I are packing for Mem Day weekend and doing all sorts of crazy stunts to get ourselves together. We anticipate Round 5 judging will occur late tonight.  No worries though, you will have plenty of time to turn in Round 6 pages.  Snoop thinks the next deadline will be on Monday.  Anything sent after the last deadline (May 26, 11:59PM CST) will be rolled into Round 6.

Snoop says, RED LIGHT! Thanks for your patience. We had quite a full day today.  Round 4 judging is now complete!

We have a winner in the PB category. *PB entries may still compete for the glory of making it the end and getting some feedback when this whole thing is done. *

An asterisk next to your X means Snoop is just looking for reasons to eat your work.

Snoop says, RED LIGHT. All Round 3 entries submitted before May 23, 11:59PM CST deadline have been judged.

CURRENT RACERS: If you do not see a judgment for your entry, it is probably because Snoop’s records show you missed the last  deadline. Your page will be judged in the next round.

Woah. Snoop has put on his editor hat and gone through over 100 entries.  He’s a little stuffed from all the manuscripts he’s eaten, and he thanks you for supplying such a tasty meal!

Please note: if Snoop ate your entry and then used it as litter (e.g.

When you receive your number, please wait until final results are posted before inquiring about next steps. All will be explained when those results are posted. Stay tuned to this site for round results.

Dear Freetiquees,

This is a quick update to let you know that Snoop’s once-clear calendar got royally-screwed up by some mission-critical items. And tonight, he is scheduled to man the fort while Cynthea attends a network SCBWI event. Because of this, we are extending this first round until 11:59 PM CST tonight (May 19, 2010).

Rest assured, we will do our very best to turn around results tomorrow.  We apologize for making you wait.

UPDATE: ********THIS FREE-TIQUE ROUND IS CLOSED********

My email server is playing lots of fun games with me. It send out an old message about a free-tique round that should have gotten to you way back in May. As a result, a bunch of people, yourselves included, never got the notice about the free-tique round when it was actually occuring.

We are so sorry this happened. At this time, we can’t get another round started because of our schedule.

Hello everyone,

It must be raise-money-for-a-cause month or something! After Nashville, I was approached to offer a unique prize for bid to help keep Evanston Public Library open. So Snoop and I put our heads together and came up with … “Pick a Children’s Book Author’s Brain!” 60 minutes on the phone to discuss anything you like about the field, AND Snoop and I will offer our feedback on a 2500-word writing sample if you so wish.

Amanda Morgan along with her fabulous colleagues have put together a terrific auction to help their hometown of Nashville. You know how I love auctions and a good cause so I put in a critique (by moi and The Snooper) up for bid. Good luck! Auction ends soon!
