New Adult Pitch Contest

If you don't know what this is all about, please go read the announcement here! There is much more information (especially about Sara, Heather, and the query critique giveaway) on that page!

Your manuscript must be complete, polished, and fall into the New Adult category (any genre) to participate in this pitch contest. Submissions will be open until 23:59 on July 10th, 2012 OR if 100 pitches are received, whichever comes first.

TO ENTER: Enter the following information in a single comment on this post. If you mess up, delete your comment and enter it again.

• Your name
• Your email address
• Title
• Genre
• Word-count
• 35 word pitch (This is a hard and fast rule. Pitches with 36 or more words will be immediately disqualified)
• If you spread the word about the contest, include a link (details below)

That is it. There are no other qualifications to enter - but you may want to follow our blog and twitter to stay updated on future contests!

WINNERS of the pitch contest will be chosen by Heather Howland of Entangled Publishing and literary agent Sara Megibow. The prizes are an undetermined number of full (maybe partial) requests.

Random Rules/FAQs:

• If you already have an agent, you can still participate, but you should discuss it with your agent before hand and be sure to indicate your agented status so Sara will know not to request from you.
• One entry/pitch per person.
• Sarah Nicolas (YAtopian and intern at Entangled Publishing) is giving away a query critique to one random person who has helped spread the word about this contest. Check the contest announcement for full details.

PLEASE DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS ON THIS POST. Or post anything but a pitch. (To make it as easy as possible for our lovely judges, who have already agreed to read up to 100 pitches, which is more than we should ask from any human.) If you have questions, tweet @sarah_nicolas or email her.
