As if we needed another reason to love Nathan Bransford, the superhero among agents blasted through 645 first-page entries in just four days, selecting a half-dozen finalists. (Holly deserves a giant pat on the back as well.) None are all that surprising because they’re examples of exceptional work. Please go read and vote. Publicize the contest on the Internet, but don’t campaign for a particular entry. Congratulations to the finalists and good luck!
