I just got approval to get a link, but the message said it would arrive sometime in the next three business days, which is past the submission window. Fingers crossed, I guess!

Update: I got my link this morning (05/16/2024). I’m going to skim my manuscript one last time before submitting.

Update #2: Submitted my 111k adult romantasy (Own Voices faerie tale retelling) during the Berkley open submission period.
