Alternates Showcase!
The agent round for PITCH WARS brought to you by Brenda Drake is happening now over at the YAMisfits blog. Hop over there and follow them and view the agent round January 23-24 pitches. The talented panel of agented/published authors, industry interns, and editors have worked for over a month with their teammates to help get their pitches and manuscripts ready for some fabulous agents. To view the teams go here, and for a list of the awesome participating agents go here.
ALTERNATES SHOWCASE! As a special reward for waiting in the wings, we are putting the alternates on a few host blogs and inviting agents to stop by and make requests. ALL AGENTS ARE WELCOMED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT.
Here are the blogs hosting the alternates’ pitches:
Adult: Summer Heacock’s blog
MIDDLE GRADE: Deanna Romito’s blog
YOUNG ADULT: Brenda Drake’s blog
YOUNG ADULT: Kimberly P. Chase’s blog
YOUNG ADULT: Monica B.W.’s blog
TWITTER PITCH PARTY! For those of you who didn’t make it into Pitch Wars, there will be a twitter pitch party on the hashtag #PitMad on January 25 from 8AM to 8PM EST. So get your twitter pitches ready and make sure to include the hashtag in your 140 character count. The rules are: be polite, any genre can be pitched, and pitch each time you see an agent on the hashtag (pitch continuously throughout the day). ALL AGENTS ARE WELCOMED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT.
Scroll down to view 12 pitches on this blog!
And don’t forget …
This time around, agents won’t only be competing for manuscripts and bragging rights, but also for Amazon gift cards! Agents, please let me know in the comments of this post if you’re interested in playing PITCH MADNESS.
Comments welcome on this post, but please only agent comments on the alternates’ entry posts!

You’re a star for running these contests, it must take a lot of work. Not got anything ready for these contests, but I’ll stay tuned for anything later in the year!

I LOVE reading the pitches and what agents think. You have such an awesome blog! I really learn a lot from it, if I ever finish a book to pitch! Thank you!
