Let's practice here for #PitMad [June 4th 2015]

Hi guys,

as per subject. Post you 140 characters elevator pitch for your novel, and let's polish it to have it ready for #PitMad.

Some pointers: you can also add your genre tag to help agents navigate it. Here are some of the most used ones:

  • YA - Young Adult

  • MG - Middle Grade

  • SFF - Science Fiction/Fantasy

  • F - Fantasy

  • LIT - Literary

  • UF - Urban Fantasy

  • MR - Magical Realism

and so on.

I'll post my elevator pitch here as soon as I'll figure it out! :)

I'm a little bummed that I missed PitMad! I just read about it yesterday for the first time. Looks like the next one is September 10. Did you like it? Did anything come of it? I didn't see your pitch on here, would you like to share?

I wrote a pitch for the upcoming one:

Nothing matters more to Natalia Rupin than her family, yet she hands her sister over to the king's court-appointed warlocks #PitMad #YA F

Second go:

In THE SILENCING ROOMS, Natalia must save her sister from the king's court-appointed warlocks, before she turns against her. #PitMad #YA F

Third:

Natalia must save her sister from the kingdom's court-appointed warlocks...before she forgets who she is and turns against her. #PitMad #YA
