Get your
manuscripts ready, because Pitch Wars #2 is right around the corner!! You
don't know what Pitch Wars is? Well, it's an AMAZING contest! With agents and
mentors and fun and a little agony too! :)
More
deets (from Brenda
Drake's Blog): Pitch Wars is a contest where 46 published/agented
authors, editors, or interns choose one writer each, read their manuscript, and
offer suggestions to shine it up for agents. The mentors also critique the
writer's pitch to get it ready for the agent round. Mentors will pick two
alternates each in case their writer drops out of the contest. We'll hold a
special alternate showcase on some of the mentors' blogs and the mentors will
critique the alternates' pitches.
I'm SO
super duper excited about being a mentor this year! Last year, the lovely girl I mentored not only
got an offer of rep, but TWO offers just from the agents participating in the
contest. And that made me more than HAPPY! She's an amazing girl. Anyway.
Pitch Wars! Here's the schedule:
- 11/20 Mentor's post bios and wishlists
- 12/2: Submission Window
- 12/3 -12/10: Mentors read their applications
