Just a reminder to those who haven't participated before, a Three-Two-One pitch contest goes like this:
THREE - Pitch your story in only three sentences.
TWO - Two days to enter: February 8th and 9th.
ONE - One agent will judge and pick a winner.
Doesn't that sound great? Well then get those pitches ready!
And now it's time to meet our awesome judging literary agent: Myrsini Stephanides of the Carol Mann Agency! We're very happy to have such a wonderful agent judge our contest.
And now, on with the details:
Do not enter your pitch on this post. I will make an official contest entry post on February 8th, and entrants will post their three-sentence pitches (no run on sentences!) in the comments section of that post. At midnight on February 9th, I will turn off comments and no other entries will be accepted. The winner will get a full manuscript request!
This contest is open to unagented, completed and polished manuscripts in the genres of:
- Offbeat, literary, and graphic YA
- New Adult
- Upmarket Women's Fiction with a twist
- Commercial Fiction
NO middle grade, science fiction, or category romance.
To be eligible, you must:
- Follow this blog - go ahead and click "Join this Site" on the right if you haven't already

Not necessary, but in the spirit of paying it forward:

So, don't forget: Three sentences, two days to enter, one agent will judge. Good luck, everyone. Can't wait to read all your pitches. See you back here on the Friday!

One question: Is there a minimum word count needed?
For a novel? Or for the pitch?
There is no word count for the pitch. It just has to be 3 sentences (or less). A novel itself is generally at least 50K, but in this case acceptance will be at the agent's discretion.
Gotcha...well, that eliminates me, 'cause I'm shopping a novella around this year.
Oh well, maybe I'll have a novel finished for next year's resolution of getting a least one story published.
