PB Rippey Writes 
What if I only have ten pages? If I win, that’s all they’ll critique anyway, so wouldn’t that work?
I’m guessing they want completed books so that if any agents happen to be lurking, they know it’s safe to get excited about & request manuscripts. But then, nobody would know you only have ten pages unless someone requested more. Then you could write really fast.
Ms. Susan B., you enter any way you wish, but it’s for a middle grade children’s novel, this time. Other contests will pop up.
And yes, WRITE FAST!
