Alana Lennie's TOP PICKS
Note: For greater objectivity, these submissions were read by our guest editor without names nor any information about the author.
Well, I've completed my review of the submissions, and I must say that it was not a simple task. I believe that each submission I read contained literary potential. I've done the best I could as far as rating is concerned, but please assure your authors that they were all very close. One point I would like to make is that our agency does not represent poetry; consequently, I don't feel terribly adequate judging this genre.
My rankings are as follows:
No. 1: A Face by Picasso
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read these projects. I wish each of the authors continuing success with their writing. Kind regards,
Congrats to our top 6, you are being nominated for the prestigious Pushcart Prize. Good luck! For the others, you may still be nominated for other writing awards, stay tuned.

A Literary Agent Speaks

the fiction side, I’m more inclined toward the cozies, novels
