CONTEST SCHEDULE
In an effort to relieve contest fatigue for agents, plus with my future editing schedule and book release ahead for me, I’m making some changes to my contests. There won’t be a Pitch Madness this September. Instead, I’m moving Pitch Wars into its spot and adding more mentors. Pitch Madness will be held every year in March. And there will be a quarterly #PitMad throughout the year. And hopefully, I’ll be less crazy.
So here’s the schedule for the upcoming year…

This will be posted under the contest tab on the home page, as well. I will update and add to the schedule as needed, so please check back before the events you are want to participate in.
YAY! I love your contests. Can’t wait to participate!
Can’t wait to be a part of this.
You are organised!
I’ll keep this list somewhere easy to find, and update on my blog as your comps come closer to the date 🙂 And your #Pitchmadness & #Pitmad will be fully over by the time I start #NestPitch 2015 😉
That’s great, and thank you!
Thanks for helping us organize, as well!
It’s my pleasure!
Handy, thanks! Added this year’s stuff to my planner 🙂
For us newbies out there … as the dates grow closer, will you also be posting how to participate? For instance, what the blog hop is, how/where to submit applications? This might be a dumb question but I really want to participate so I had to ask!
Look for all the details posting on August 4. It will have the information about the blog hop and how what you’ll need to submit on August 18.
Thanks so much!
