Polish that pitch and whip those chapters into shape because there’s a new Passionate Reads pitch contest on the way!! That’s right. Passionate Reads is kicking off our second pitch contest and Grace Bradley, editor with Ellora’s Cave, will be on hand to judge the entries once again. The winner will receive a line by line critique of the first three chapters of their manuscript. Grace is an incredible editor and I feel qualifed to make that claim because she’s my editor! Any feedback she provides will be incredibly valuable.

Our last contest was a huge success and Grace requested material from a number of the entrants. Actually, one of our finalists from last time is now an in-house Ellora’s Cave author!  It just goes to show you, these contests can really be an accelerator to publication and they’re a great way to bypass the slush pile.

The contest kicks off on October 3 when we will be opening the blog here for pitches. That should be plenty of time to get your entries in shape.

Throughout September we’ll have some exciting blog posts as a lead up to the event including a discussion from Grace on September 14 (where she’ll share some guidelines and tips and field questions) and an interview with our finalist from last year, Anya Richards, brand new EC author on September 26 (where she’ll talk about her experience with the contest).

All the official guidelines for the contest, the information on how it will work and the specific schedule can be found on our official contest page. Got any questions at this time? Feel free to post them.

So come on. Get your pitch on!

Kaily & and excited Passionate Reads bunch.
