#PitMad Twitter Pitch Party (8AM – 8PM EDT)
Pitch Wars is a mentoring program where published/agented authors, editors, or industry interns choose one writer each, read their entire manuscript, and offer suggestions on how to make the manuscript shine for an agent showcase. The mentor also helps edit their mentee’s pitch for the contest and their query letter for submitting to agents.

Pitch Wars is managed and staffed by volunteers, but we have unavoidable, necessary costs. Your donation keeps the mentoring program free for all writers.
