Pitch Madness 2016 Mario Kart Edition

Bowsers Castle

Bowser’s Castle

Today we’re excited to introduce the teams for Pitch Madness. Pitch Madness is a contest to win a request from one or more of the participating agents. I will have an agent introduction post up soon. For those who don’t know about Pitch Madness, click here for THE OFFICIAL RULES.

Pitch Madness will be on four blogs and each blog host will have a co-host helping them choose their top 15 entries. Some will have a team of first readers who will check for formatting, grammar, and content and put their top picks through to the hosts.  And the top 60 finalists will move onto the agent round!

Here are the hosting sites  …

Brenda Drake’s site

Rebecca Coffindaffer’s site

Sharon Johnston’s site

Summer Heacock’s site

And now, introducing Team Bowser’s Castle hosted by Rebecca Coffindaffer along with her co-host Marieke Ninjkamp

Team Bowser’s Castle will be hosted on Rebecca’s blog.

(They won’t be using any second round readers.)
