It's very exciting to be on the other side of the fence, so getting a sneak peek at what the mentors are up against is fascinating. Pitchwars is a great opportunity, even if not picked--the networking, the friendships, and the sheer fun of it are great. Not to mention the furious work to get query and ms in shape. Thanks for all you do for fellow writers--so much appreciated!

This writing business is made up of a whole lot of hard work to polish, courage to put oneself "out there", and patience to wait for that person who loves your story as much as you do, and can help propel you to the next level.

I judged a section of poetry (humorous poems) for the N.C. Poetry Society once, and I found that extremely difficult. It's so subjective.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-13970536858296638512015-08-23T13:24:02.664-04:002015-08-23T13:24:02.664-04:00Thanks for the peek behind the pitch war curtain, ...Thanks for the peek behind the pitch war curtain, Sarah.

The odds are tremendously set against the individual writer. Of course the agents have their own tastes and preferences--they are human. And some types of fiction, especially the ones that build from an "ordinary" beginning (I think of Psycho) probably aren't going to catch anyone's attention.<br /><br />Thanks for the insight!KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-24418684182579119412015-08-23T08:06:29.510-04:002015-08-23T08:06:29.510-04:00I have never participated in a pitch war but it so...I have never participated in a pitch war but it sounds interesting.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-11262780213628265152015-08-23T08:01:03.870-04:002015-08-23T08:01:03.870-04:00Sarah, what an interesting post and wonderful insi...Sarah, what an interesting post and wonderful insight into the how the process works.
