Very nice piece on Vermont Public Radio about Pitchaplooza @ Northshire, one of our favorite bookstores in the world.
And Our Winner Is…
Well, Wrimos, this year our winner and our fan favorite are one in the same. Congratulations Mark & Sheri Durson for a funny, fresh, interesting, exciting, top-notch pitch for Mythology High!
Because Mythology High was also chosen as the fan favorite, we are naming Fernando Quijano III as winner of our free hour consultation. We loved Fernando’s pitch for Killing Lillith (awesome title!). His unlikely combination of characters, his dark and of-the-moment premise had us calling out, “I wanna read this book”. Congratulations, Fernando!
Thanks so much to everyone for participating. If you’d like to come to a live Pitchapalooza, check out our calendar. Cheers, Arielle & David

NaNoWriMo Online Pitchaplaooza: The Entries
Epic punks, self-Googling, teenage cowboys, hired assassins, a ynkedra, Steve Jobs in heaven, fantasy kingdoms in galaxies far far away, and of course a couple of vampires. Once again, we were totally blown away by the diversity, quantity and quality of pitches we got in our NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza. But of course we’ve come to expect this level of excellence from NaNo Nation. The Book Doctors had an absolute blast swimming in this vast pool of pitches. Write on, Wrimos!
Now for the 411: The 25 pitches below were selected randomly. Our comments follow each pitch. It’s our mission to try to help all you amazing writers not just get published, but get successfully published. That’s why we’ve told you what works, but also what needs to be improved.
On March 15, 2012, we will name a winner. But, in the mean time, don’t let our opinion sway you. What story intrigues you? What pitch would prod you from the couch to the bookstore (or, if you’re really lazy, to buy it online!)? This year, we’ve made it easy for you to vote for your favorite pitch. The pitch that receives the most votes will be awarded the “fan favorite”, and the author will receive a free one-hour consult with us (worth $250).
But please note: YOU CAN ONLY VOTE ONCE! So please choose carefully. Don’t just read the first couple of pitches — read them all. You owe it to your fellow Wrimos. Encourage your friends, family and random strangers to vote for you via the link to the poll. We will also be posting these pitches—a couple a day–on our Facebook page. We encourage anyone to “like” your entry but only poll votes from the webpage will count towards the Fan Favorite.
