Pitch with Natalie Winners!!

So - this wasn't easy. It wasn't easy at all. We had awesome entries. As a group, it was so difficult to go through and get it down to a list of 20 for Natalie. It was even harder for her to get it down to her overall winners. Thank you once again for participating in this pitch contest. Keep checking in because we'll be hosting more and more!

So, without further ado...we have our three winners.

In no particular order...

Envious

The Hungry Ground

Program 13


Congratulations!!! You have won the chance to submit your query, synopsis and first ten pages to Natalie herself. Just email me (chanelle(@)chanellegray(dot)com) for her email address and instructions on how to submit.

A few people wanted to know if we would publish our top 20. We saw no reason why we couldn't. And here they are (again in no particular order)...

Prison Nation
Darkling
Edge of Reality
Envious
My Life in Nicknames
Note to Self
Program 13
Saving Elizabeth
The Glass Prince
Without a Song
Aetherstorm
Grimly
Jade
One Last Time
Sit Tight, Take Hold
Splashback
The Hungry Ground
Arthur and the Washing Machine...
Fear Itself
Shadow Watchers

Thanks again!
Chanelle
xoxo

    Thanks everyone for entering. It was so hard to pick a top 20. There was plenty of other great projects that just missed out.

    I'd like to reiterate that even those that didn't make the top twenty... it was REALLY narrow and we had to have a tie breaker to narrow it down. You guys had some fantastic pitches and first lines!

    So I sent you an e-mail yesterday, Chanelle, but I just got through some issues with my e-mail and I'm a bit paranoid that they're not over. If you didn't receive my message, could you let me know so I can resend?

    Thank you again for this opportunity!
