Welcome to the mentors’ wishlist blog hop! From today until submission day, use the linkies below to hop to all the mentors’ websites/blogs to read their bios, wishlists, and what categories and genres they want to mentor.
For those unfamiliar with Pitch Wars, it’s a mentoring program where published/agented authors, editors, or interns choose one writer each, read their entire manuscript, and offer suggestions on how to make the manuscript shine. The mentee then revises their manuscript for four months under the guidance of their mentor. The mentor also critiques his/her writer’s pitch and query letter to get it ready for the agent showcase in February. You can find our schedule in the footer of this site.
Find out more about Pitch Wars here: http://pitchwars.org/new-start-here/
Want to find out about the fabulous agents participating in the agent showcase? Go to to this page here: https://showcase.pitchwars.org/agents/
Need to connect to the community? Join the Pitch Wars forum to have discussions with some of our mentors and other writers or get your worked critiqued by your peers and sometimes mentors or search for critique partners. It’s our gift to you for being so awesome, and we hope you find this space useful. To join the forum go here: http://pitchwars.proboards.com/
Mark your calendars for our official #PitchWars #askmentor chat on Twitter on August 16 from 8-10pm EST. Dozens of mentors will be on hand to answer your questions!

If I make it into Pitch Wars as a mentee, may I query or enter other contests or programs? What happens if more than one mentor wants the same mentee?

These questions and more are answered on our FAQ! http://pitchwars.org/submission-faq/

I wish there was a mentor who was requesting inspirational historical romance. I don’t see any in that sub-genre or did I miss something?
Even so, thank you Pitch Wars for offering this unique experience.
How do I sign up to receive alerts about future Pitch Wars happenings? Thank you.
