Manuscript critique from Sara Zarr
Acclaimed young adult author Sara Zarr will offer feedback on your contemporary/realistic YA manuscript. She can either look at a partial manuscript and help you think about where to take it, or a completed manuscript up to 300 pages. The winner of this item can work out the scheduling with Sara after the auction ends.
Sara Zarr is the acclaimed author of three novels for young adults: Story of a Girl (National Book Award Finalist), Sweethearts (Cybil Award Finalist), and Once Was Lost (a Kirkus Best Book of 2009). Her short fiction and essays have also appeared in Image, Hunger Mountain, and several anthologies. She lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with her husband. You can visit her online at www.sarazarr.com.
Michelle’s note: Sara is an amazing writer and an even more amazing person. Almost every time there is an event that deals with writing and literacy in Utah, I’ve seen Sara there, offering her time and support. If you haven’t read her books, you should. You’ll see graceful prose that strikes you to the heart when you least expect it.
Place your bid for the manuscript critique in the comments of this page. The auction will conclude March 20, 2010 at 11:59 pm EST.

But-but-but, I think those bids came in too late, so $135 it may be…

According to the time stamp on the website, all of these bids came in before or right when time was called. It looks like the clock I was using is a minute slow, but these bids all stand.
