Pitch Wars Success Story with Laura Taylor Namey and her mentor, Beth Ellyn Summer

 

Today’s success story is a little bit different. We mentors always have a hard time deciding who we want to work with because of all the amazing entries. We have to choose an official mentee, but often we can’t let another manuscript go because we love it so much! So these mentees become “unofficial” mentees.

This year, one unofficial mentee was Laura Taylor Namey, mentored by Beth Ellyn Summer.  Laura signed with Natascha Morris of BookEnds Literary, and we couldn’t be happier! We hope you’ll join us in congratulating them. (more…)

We have an amazing lineup of agents participating in Pitch Wars 2017!

On November 1st , the Pitch Wars Agent Showcase will go live for all the mentees, chosen by mentors on August 24th. We will post three separate posts by age category (MG, YA, NA/A), listing the mentees’ pitch and the first words of their manuscript (pitch words + first page words = 300 words). The agents will search from November 1-7 through the posts, find their favorites, and request them. (more…)
