Announcements Editor Request Announced

[RJ Garside]

UPDATED 11/12

Previously, we’ve always had the pitch requests due two weeks following the pitch event, but this time we’ve tried to share the results a week sooner.

Please note we will be announcing the requests from the following editor in the near future. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

• Stephanie Wheeler at Spinning Wheel Stories

Janet Bruins at Picnic Heist Publishing

• Please ask the writers to send anything they’d like — a completed manuscript, a developed pitch, sketches, notes, autobiography... up to a maximum of two pages.
  Ideally, one page should focus on the story, and the other on the marketing plan. The marketing plan should outline what they, as the author, would personally do to help bring their book to more readers.
• All materials should be submitted to [email protected] with the subject line: Submission – Autumn Pitchfest. Deadline: end of November.
• Please also remind the writers to only submit if they are ready to sign a book contract. Whether or not they are represented by an agent, if we decide to move forward, they should be prepared to do so without any encumbrances.

Requests:

• Anna and Her Horses
• Cowboys Don't Cry
• Rivkah's Riverboat Journey
• Wild Threads
• Rakhis for Ruhi
• Heeya's Holi Hullabaloo
