During the run of Pitch Wars, we were fortunate to have a group of incredibly generous volunteers contribute to our blog. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the amazing writers who produced content over the years: Angel Zhang, Anna Kaling, Annette Christie, Brenda Drake, Erin Hardee, Ernie Chiara, Gail Villanueva, Gwynne Jackson, Heather Cashman, Jaime Dill, Kellye Garrett, Leigh Mar, Lisa Leoni, Rochelle Karina, Sarah Nicolas, and Shari Schwarz. If I’ve inadvertently missed anyone, I sincerely apologize—please let me know. The posts below are a compilation of their contributions over the years.

Anna Kaling writes mostly British contemporary romances featuring lots of tea, rain, and passive-aggressive queuing. By day she writes about concrete erections for a construction firm, and by night she… well, never mind. She’s working towards being an old cat lady and is a big fan of sharks, bad horror movies, and the Loch Ness Monster.
Stephanie Scott writes young adult and romance about characters who put their passions first. Her debut ALTERATIONS about a fashion-obsessed loner who reinvents herself was a Romance Writers of America RITA® award finalist. FALLING INTO PLACE is sweet second chance romance part of a multi-author series. She also has a short story in the YA anthology WELCOME HOME from Flux Books. She enjoys dance fitness, everything cats, and has a slight obsession with Instagram. A Midwest girl at heart, she resides outside of Chicago with her tech-of-all-trades husband and fuzzy furbabies.
