The complete rules/information for the 2007 Inkthinker Query Challenge are available RIGHT HERE. Please click to read the updated post for the most current info.
Are you ready to climb your way to publishing success? Well, you’re in the right place. January 10, 2007, is the official kickoff of the First-Ever Inkthinker Annual Query Challenge!
Here’s how it works: Starting today, January 8, 2007, I’m going to start building a list of everyone who’s participating. You’ll e-mail me your name and a link to your site/blog/whatever, and I’ll add you to a fancy-schmancy list of 2007 Query Challenge Participants. You can also leave your “sign-up” info in the comments, but you don’t have to.
Beginning on January 10, we’re going to GET WRITING! The goal is for every single one of us, me included, to get out 120 queries by the end of 2007. This breaks down to 10 queries a month, which is so doable that maybe we shouldn’t even call it a challenge. Well, we’re going to anyway, because it just sounds good, but think about HOW EASY THIS SHOULD BE FOR YOU! We’re talking two, maybe three queries a week. That ain’t nuttin’.
Every month on the last day of the month, I’m going to put out a call for you to E-MAIL ME YOUR TOTALS. You don’t have to e-mail me your total if you don’t want to–I’m not going to force you to do it–but I think it will encourage you and keep you motivated, so pretend that EVERYONE WILL KNOW IF YOU SLACK ON YOUR QUERIES. During the first week of the following month, I’ll do a special post to update the cumulative totals. I’ll also post about any success stories you want to share with the crew.
So, are we ready to get rolling? I know I am! And as soon as I post this, I’m going to go e-mail that guy at the local paper and pitch my very own blog.
Now, what are you waiting for?

Hi Kristen,
Just a wee note to say I’ve just posted an article titled, ‘my favourite copywriting blogs’ and you’re in there, top of the list.
All the best for 2007!
Brilliant idea Kristen! I’ve just posted about it. Good luck. :)
I waffle…I would, but I hope to be in graduate school next fall, which would mean less time for other work.
