Question: You ask for a "Twitter pitch" in one place and a "25-word pitch" in another. My 25-word pitch is too long for a Twitter pitch. So should I include both?

Unknown said...

That's a typo on my part! It should be twitter pitch, though I'm sure you can get away with a few extra characters if you need to!

Suja said...

Hi, I sent the email, but forgot to state that I would like to be included in the forum feedback. Sorry about that.

Mel said...

Nooo, I entered my 30 word pitch, not my twitter pitch. What shall I do?

Angelica R. Jackson said...

Mel, you can email us the correct one (with a notation to that effect) at OperationAwesome6 (at) gmail (dot) com and we'll try to match it up to your entry

Not sure if my entry went through or not - MG called "The Trouble With Queenie"

I accidentally autofilled my registration in the Rafflecoptor with the wrong email. I submitted my entry from the correct one. What can I do?

Lorien said...

There isn't a confirmation email for submissions, correct? Just want to ensure I didn't miss something!

R. Elena Tabachnick said...

I totally messed up the first part of the rafflecopter drop down for email entries. My name & email went in fine, but I wasn't sure what to put int he first part and...

Please forgive my ignorance. How do I fix this? Your email didn't accept my email entry.

Debra Daugherty said...

I might have messed up my entry. Where it said type: all I had was my name when it was sent. I did send required info via my email. Tell me if I goofed.

Unknown said...

Lorien, there is no confirmation email.

Becky Mahoney said...

Hi Rita! Your entry went through, thank you!

Becky Mahoney said...

No problem Christopher. We'll make a note that the e-mail you submitted your entry from is the one you'd like to use.

Becky Mahoney said...

Hi Elena! I found your entry on the Rafflecopter and I'm going to send you an e-mail from the Operation Awesome account. Try replying to it with your entry.
