Pitch Wars

Pitch Wars is a competitive mentoring program for aspiring authors, especially in the young adult and middle-grade genres. Writers submit their manuscripts to established industry professionals, known as mentors. These mentors select a limited number of submissions to work with, providing guidance on refining the manuscript and pitch. Participants then showcase their improved work in a virtual agent showcase, where literary agents can request to read their full manuscripts. The program aims to help writers improve their craft, gain visibility in the publishing industry, and ultimately secure literary representation.
