Today I submit Apocalypse to Pitch Wars. Pitch Wars is a yearly contest whereas writers submit what is basically
a query package -- query letter, bio, synopsis, and first chapter -- into selected potential mentors, who will in turn pick a writer they want to work with. They will help develop and polish query materials and give the writer the opportunity to meet with industry representatives to pitch their novel.
I've done this twice before. I guess the odds are less than 1% that one would get selected. I'm okay with that; I'll keep trying. My novel has been improved. My query letter has been improved. I have grown as a writer. This may be the year.
Or it may not be.Â
But it will never be if I don't try.
