Note 1/3/15: The workshop is full and we'll be notifying successful submissions this afternoon. If you didn't make it into the January round, please remember that new workshops open at noon on the first Saturday of every month! And please stick around to watch and comment on this month's entries and revisions!
I was sad to see the First Five Pages December Workshop come to an end. What a talented group! Everyone worked hard on their revisions, gave thoughtful comments, and connected on the workshop’s Facebook page. A huge thanks to our guest mentor, Peter Salomon (if you haven’t read his fabulous book, ALL THOSE BROKEN ANGELS you should!) and also to super agent Ginger Clark. Both provided great feedback.

Our January workshop will open for entries at noon EST
on Saturday, January 3, 2015. We'll take the first five Middle Grade,
Young Adult, or New Adult entries that meet all guidelines and formatting
requirements. I will post reminders here, at Adventures in YA Publishing, and on twitter (@etcashman). We usually fill up in under a minute, so get those pages ready!
In addition to our wonderful permanent mentors, we have our own Lisa Gail Green, whose newest novel, SOUL CROSSED, will be published on February 25,
2015 (how gorgeous is that cover?!!) and agent Tracey Adams!
Lisa Gail Green lives with her
husband the rocket scientist and their three junior mad scientists in Southern
California. She writes books so she can have an excuse to live in the fantasy
world in her head. She has a parrot but would most definitely get a werewolf
for a pet if she weren't allergic. Lisa’s paranormal fantasy, SOUL CROSSED,
will be published on February 25, 2015, and THE BINDING STONE is available now.
One Demon.
One Angel.
One Soul.
Josh lived a reckless, selfish life, so upon his death, escaping the eternal torments of Hell by assuming the role of a powerful, soul-corrupting demon is an easy choice. His first soul assignment doesn’t seem too hard: the mortal Camden is already obsessed with weapons, pain, and torture. If only Josh wasn’t distracted by Cam’s beautiful friend, Grace.
Grace never expected to die violently at age sixteen, but now she’s an Angel, responsible for saving a soul. She can already see past Camden’s earthly flaws, so the job should be be easy. If only that handsome, playboy Josh would stop getting in the way.
It’s forbidden for an Angel to be with a Demon, so if Josh and Grace stop resisting each other, the results would be disastrous.
And only one can claim Cam’s soul.
