Sibylline Nights Pitch

In case you didn't see the post on NA Alley yesterday, I shared my pitch for Sibylline Nights, ahead of YAtopia's New Adult Pitch Contest on July 10th.

Well, I'm sharing my pitch here today, in case anyone wants to have a read, and if you're so inclined offer any suggestions.

I also wanted to thank the girls at NA Alley for hosting the critique session, and offering this help to all writers entering the contest. Additional thanks to LynnRush, Sarah Nicolas, Aimee L. Salter and Juliana Haygert for your comments and suggestions on my pitch, they've been invaluable.  

Here's the latest version of the pitch:

Title: Sibylline Nights 

Genre: Contemporary Fantasy 

Word-count: 105,831 (still in first round of edits, so this will change) 

35 word pitch (This is a hard and fast rule. Pitches with 36 or more words will be immediately disqualified): Separated at birth, triplets Esmee, Maggie and Nola are reunited by their new magical abilities. Even with the Paraphysiology Intelligence Division hunting them, they choose to oppose magical terrorists intent on eradicating those without abilities.

Thoughts and opinions, thought please don't feel obliged to. I'm sure you've all had enough of me and my pitch in the last few days.

Right, I'm off to make some important revisions to the first thirty chapters of Sibylline Nights.

Finally, happy Independence Day to all my American writing buddies.  

NA Alley: Pitch Critique Session

For those of you who haven't heard, on July 10th YAtopia are hosting a New Adult pitch contest.

Rules

In the wee hours of July 10^th (EST, like all of our contests here), the official pitch contest post will go up at yatopia.blogspot.com. To enter the contest, you must post the following information as a comment on that post before 11:59 PM on July 10^th. The pitch contest will be closed if 100 entries are submitted, no matter what time of day it is. One pitch per person.

• Your name
• Your email address
• Title
• Genre
• Word-count
• 35 word pitch (This is a hard and fast rule. Pitches with 36 or more words will be immediately disqualified)

Winners

Sara and Heather will pick their winners and we will post the results within the week. We have no rule that says both Sara and Heather can't request the same manuscript! The number of winners depends entirely on the quality of the pitches! There is no pre-set number of winners so they may request ten pages from one person or they could request fulls from all of you – it’s all up to you!

That is why…

Critique Session

NA Alley, THE blog dedicated to New Adult fiction, is going to help everybody out by hosting a pre-pitch critique session on July 3^rd!

On July 3^rd, they’ll put up a post where you can post your pitch in the comments and receive feedback from other contestants, as well as YAtopia and NA Alley contributors, and Special Guest Lynn Rush, new adult paranormal romance author! All they ask is that you critique three other pitches.

If you're thinking of entering the contest, join in today to get your pitched polished. If you're not entering the contest, still hop along to give writers that are some advice.
