Winners Announced
I'd like to shout out a big thanks to Suzie Townsend of Fineprint Literary for judging Twitter-style pitches in our latest contest. Suzie is amazing to work with and her blog, Confessions of a Wandering Heart, is one you won't want to miss.
Winner: Corinne Duyvis
Prize: Query critique plus ten pages
Winning Entry: As the normal daughter to magical parents, Lillian hates magic. Having to save her dad from a tricky fae contract? Really not helping.
Prize: Query critique plus five pages
Winning Entry: A deal with the devil: Rachel agrees to teach newly divorced Mac to date but he decides he wants her and must sabotage all her efforts.
Prize: Query Critique
Winning Entry: All Tara longs for is a normal life, but with a sexy vampire, an undead aunt, and a mad demon in the picture—so far—it’s just not happening.
Portia Stewart
Entry: A young teacher facing false charges of sexual misconduct seeks safe haven at her aunt's isolated Missouri farm–and finds a stalker waiting.
Entry: Stephanie has a cheating boyfriend, a slacker brother & a crush on Spencer. Plus a gstring up her ass. Karma’s a bitch.
Entry: Frances escapes her depression and goes to the court of Queen Elizabeth to find herself and ends up falling in love with her own husband.

And thank you for posting their entries. Now I have new ideas to give my pitch more voice. :-)
Wow these twitter style pitches are inspiring. I loved the winner. I'd probably buy a book just based on that hook and a good cover!
Grats Winners!
