I ALWAYS urge new writers to enter their work in Genesis. I also urge them to enter First Impressions with unfinished manuscripts. I was writing omniscient narrator POV when I first entered Genesis, and it was from comments by the judges that I learned today's market wanted 3rd person limited. So I learned how to do that and rewrote the 3 novels I'd entered to the more modern style. I attribute their market success to those rewrites. If I hadn't entered Genesis, taken to heart the suggestions made by the judges, and studied hard to learn and improve my craft, I wouldn't be enjoying the level of success I have. MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH GENESIS WHO HELPED MAKE IT ALL POSSIBLE.
