Meet the Pitch Madness Slush Readers!

19 Monday Aug 2013

Posted by Dahlia Adler in Pitch Madness

≈ Leave a comment

We’re excited to announce the amazing slush readers for Pitch Madness! There’s a lot of work behind the scenes of Pitch Madness. Without these talented writers we wouldn’t be able to have such epic first and second round readings for the contest. Each one was chosen for their greatness. Make sure to follow them!

For those of you not familiar with Pitch Madness, Pitch Madness is a contest
where agents compete in a game against their peers for pitches. This
time the game is Monopoly. If you haven’t been a part of a Pitch
Madness challenge before, please check out this post here for more information. The submission window is open for 24 hours (12:01AM EST to 11:59PM EST) on August 24. Our slush readers will read through the pitches and pick the top 60 pitches for the agent round starting on September 6. We try to get a good mix of various genres, but the writing comes first. Basically, if the submissions aren’t ready, it’s a pass.

And here are the slush readers …
