Adult Only Summer Pitch Party!





You've asked for it and here it is ...

Put the children books to bed, you're invited to an adult only pitch event on June 27 through June 29! 

After many requests from Adult writers and agents, I'm  kicking off the summer with a pitch event for adult only fiction. It's a simple contest, all you have to do is get your 35-word pitch and the 1st 150 words of your completed manuscript ready to post on June 27. You'll post them in the comments of the kick off post and agents will make requests by replying to the ones they want to see more of. All are welcome. There's no limit. Only one entry per writer.

Agents are signing up and I'll announce the agents in a few weeks!

BYOP!! (Bring your own pitch!)

      I will take New Adult. Can't say whether all agents will look at them, but it's worth a try.

      I will take novellas, and as with New Adults, I can't say if all agents will consider them.

    Can you start at pitch topic on CP Seek? I put mine out on the Adult section but I liked having one place to put pitches like you did for a previous pitch on Twitter. Thanks!

    Do you include word count and genre as a header? (hopefully not included in the thirty five words)

    If 150 words ends mid-sentence, should I go over or under?
