This webinar will offer feedback to all participants. Bess and Lauren will critique as many pages as they can during the live hour and will guarantee written feedback to every registered participant within two weeks, focusing on voice, world building, stakes, and conflict.

About Pitch Wars Webinars . . .

The Pitch Wars webinar series was developed to help writers at every stage of their careers. Mentors and industry experts will host webinars focused on pitching, publishing, developing craft, and more.

Pitch Wars is a contest where published/agented authors, editors, or industry interns choose one writer each, read their entire manuscript, and offer suggestions to shine it up for agents. The mentors work with their mentees for two months before an agent round. Learn more.
