Today's the day! AMM's application window opens through Thursday, Jan. 14.

• You've picked the mentors to apply to, maybe even attended a few of the chats they held beforehand and got all your questions answered.

• Your MS is polished.

• Your query letter is as good as you can get it and the synopsis includes all the plot points and your MS's BIG REVEAL.

• You crafted questions to the application (posted on the AMM website earlier this month), about 500 word responses, earlier in the month.

You are. Good. To. Go.

So submit, already!

I understand hesitation to click the button. I'm suffering from it myself, this time around. It takes courage and grit to put your work out there for other professionals to read. That's no small accomplishment and you should be proud of doing it!

Let me know if you apply and I'll root for your MS.

Good luck, everyone!
