  1. I vote for the two duos. Elizabeth Tybush and F.L Tybush V, and Katherine Ernst and Chelle Bruhn. They were both very enthusiastic and had interesting stories to tell.

  16. Okay--I watched each Vlog. If I have to pick only one...I'll say Robin Weeks. It's my kind of story, and she's so cute, and she hypnotized me--not into writing this though.

  19. I'm sorry, I have to go with Lauren McKellar, too!

    Also, I just wanted to post and thank you for putting on this opportunity. Yeah, I felt like I'd totally humiliated myself and I wanted to hide in a closet afterwards, but it was a good experience. I'm looking forward to the next round!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm voting for Laura Hughes, because her story sounds Aaawweeesome!

  23. I had to sleep on it, because sooo many pitches were soooo awesome, but I have to go with the Tybushes for some mad editing skillz, great enthusiasm, and a fun plot to boot.

    I also loved John Krissilas for enthusiasm, confidence, artwork, and great comments on everyone else's pitches. Also Amy DeLuca for unbeatable poise. And Lauren McKellar for the most hilariously literal elevator pitch. And Fiona McLaren for spookiness. And... oh, there are so many awesome pitches!
