#PitchMe 2023 Results

Our most successful round of #PitchMe EVER came to a close last week, and once again, I'm delightfully worn out.

In addition, our two other finalists didn't make it to the agent and editor round because they accepted offers of representation after being selected!

Last but certainly not least, THANK YOU. Whether you were an agent, an editor, an entrant, or a finalist, #PitchMe doesn't work without all of you. And #PitchMe REALLY wouldn't work without Tara Shiroff, my partner (pitcher?)-in-crime. Thanks again for all your insights and boundless enthusiasm.
