    Thank you so much for putting this all on, Brenda!! And thanks so much to all the mentors, especially my own super amazing mentor Heidi. I didn’t even realize we got gift cards. It seems too much on top of getting my manuscript critiqued and getting in front of so many agents. Anyone that has the guts to put themselves out there is a winner!! I’m full of writerly love tonight… what an awesome community.

  • Thanks Brenda for organising this, and to all the mentors for putting in all the hours to make it work. Congrats to all the finalists – they’re all winners, gift card or otherwise!

  • Can’t thank Brenda, Lori, and the rest of the Pitch Wars crew enough for running this contest… Congrats to the gift card winners! Amazing entries. So well-deserved!

  • This must be so much work and you guys do a great job.
    Thank you for all the time and effort.
    Congrats to the winners.
