More PITCH WARS Info!!!!

Submissions start today (11/26)!!!!

My awesome bio:

I work undercover connecting writers with literary agents. I know it sounds cheesy, but I do. And it works! I've helped several writers find their agents right here on CLC! Well, their awesomeness did most of the work, but I gotta say something, right? :)

I fuel myself with chocolate and cheese (not together), love fictional people (whether they're my own creation or someone else's), and try to have ALL THE FUN, ALL THE TIME!!! You know you want to join me! So pick me!

My awesome wish list:

I'm looking for any YA! I'm not going to exclude anything because I don't want to miss out on something so amazing, that I'll break my own tastes for it. So if you write YA and want to submit to me, please do. But fyi, here are my specific tastes:

1. ROMANCE, ROMANCE ROMANCE!!!! I love me some YA with romance! Send to me NOW!

2. I also love contemporary! Whether it's horror, thriller, or fun. I'd love for you to make me laugh or scare me silly.

(If you've combined those two, send for sure!)

3. Anything with a really fresh, unique concept! I read A LOT, whether it be published YA or submissions to contests. I want a story that stands out! Amaze me with your creative genius! (This especially pertains to paranormal or dystopian genres.)

4. Commercial is great! But I'm not against a more literary tone.

5. I may not be the best at critiquing historical, even though I love it.

Now go send me your work, so I can stalk you! :)
