Welcome to the mentors’ wishlist blog hop! From today until submission day, use the linkies below to hop to all the mentors’ websites/blogs to read their bios, wishlists, and what categories and genres they want to mentor.
For those unfamiliar with Pitch Wars, it’s a mentoring program where published/agented authors, editors, or interns choose one writer each, read their entire manuscript, and offer suggestions on how to make the manuscript shine. The mentee then revises their manuscript for four months under the guidance of their mentor. The mentor also critiques his/her writer’s pitch and query letter to get it ready for the agent showcase in February. You can find our schedule in the footer of this site.

This is CANDY! Thank you all, so much.
If I make it into Pitch Wars as a mentee, may I query or enter other contests or programs? What happens if more than one mentor wants the same mentee?
These questions and more are answered on our FAQ! http://pitchwars.org/submission-faq/
I wish there was a mentor who was requesting inspirational historical romance. I don’t see any in that sub-genre or did I miss something?
Even so, thank you Pitch Wars for offering this unique experience.
How do I sign up to receive alerts about future Pitch Wars happenings? Thank you.
