Where are they now? NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza Success Stories
It’s been a great year for past NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza winners: 
Tumblr media
In 2016, May Cobb ran away with NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza. She's been capturing attention ever since. In 2019, it was a "heated six-publisher auction" that ended with Berkley winning the rights to publish her novel The Hunting Wives, which was pitched as In a Dark, Dark Wood meets Mean Girls. The Hunting Wives launched in May 2021 with buzz from The Skimm, Cosmopolitan, SheReads, PopSugar, BuzzFeed, Goodreads, E! Online, Crime Reads, Book Riot, Bustle, and more. In September 2021, May announced another two-book deal with Berkley. First up, My Summer Darlings hits bookstores in May 2022: three lifelong friends plus a dangerous, sexy new stranger in town add up to a scorching summer of manipulation, obsession, and murder.
Tumblr media
Gloria Chao won the 2015 NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza with the novel that would become her critically-acclaimed debut American Panda. Her award-winning books have been featured on the “Best of” lists of Seventeen, Bustle, Barnes & Nobles, PopSugar, Paste Magazine, and more. American Panda received four starred trade reviews, was on the Amelia Bloomer list, and was a Junior Library Guild Selection, Indie Next Pick, and YALSA Teens’ Top 10 Pick. Her second novel, Our Wayward Fate, came out in 2019 and her third novel, Rent a Boyfriend, is out now from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. 
But that's not all. Fools in Love, an anthology released December 7, 2021 (Running Press Kids/Hachette), features Gloria and fourteen bestselling, award-winning, and up-and-coming authors as they reimagine some of the most popular themes in the romance genre that are sure to steal your heart. Gloria's work graces Game On: 15 Stories of Wins, Losses, and Everything in Between that released last month from Viking/Penguin. And coming from Viking Penguin in Fall 2022 is When You Wish Upon a Lantern, a YA romance that sold in a heated auction! In Spring 2023, look for Freshman Orientation, a YA anthology of linked stories set on the first day at a small college, from the perspective of teens moving into their dorms, making new friends, avoiding old ones, and trying to fit in (Candlewick).
Gloria is giving back to aspiring authors by being a 2022 We Need Diverse Books YA mentor. 
Tumblr media
Stacy McAnulty has been on fire since she won our third NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza, publishing twenty-eight books and counting. Her latest novel, Millionaires for the Month, is out now from Random House Books for Young Readers. Kirkus calls it “cinematic, over-the-top decadence, a tense race against time, and lessons on what’s truly valuable.” Stacy also signed a deal with Random House to publish another middle grade novel, A Penny Doubled, pitched as How to Steal a Dog meets Brewster’s Millions. She also published three picture books in 2021: A Small Kindness (February 2), Mars! (February 9), and Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack (August 31). And Little, Brown recently won at auction rights to publish her debut nonfiction middle grade Save the People! Halting Human Extinction, a look at our potential demise with a side of humor and a powerful remedy: scientific knowledge. In April 2022, look for Our Planet! There’s No Place Like Earth, and in August, Blood! Not Just a Vampire Drink. 
“Winning Pitchapalooza gave me confidence and the courage to keep fighting. It also helped bring my manuscript to the next level.”
–Gloria Chao

Are you feeling a little unsure about exactly how to craft your pitch?  We’ve got you covered. 
10 Tips for Pitching Your Novel
A great pitch is like a poem.  Every word counts.
Make us fall in love with your hero.  Whether you’re writing a novel or memoir, you have to make us root for your flawed but lovable hero.
Make us hate your villain.  Show us someone unique and dastardly whom we can’t wait to hiss at.
Just because your kids love to hear your story at bedtime doesn’t mean you’re automatically qualified to get a publishing deal. Make sure to include only relevant information in your pitch.
If you have any particular expertise that relates to your novel, tell us. Establishing your credentials will help us trust you.
Your pitch is your audition to show us what a brilliant writer you are, so it has to be the very best of your writing.
Don’t make your pitch a book report.  Make it sing and soar and amaze.
A pitch is like a movie trailer.  You start with an incredibly exciting/funny/sexy/romantic/etc. close-up with intense specificity, then you pull back to show the big picture and tell us the themes and broad strokes that build to a climax.
Leave us with a cliffhanger.  The ideal reaction to a pitch is, “Oh my God, what happens next?”
Show us what’s unique, exciting, valuable, awesome, unexpected, about your project, and also why it’s comfortable, familiar and proven.
Join our newsletter to receive more tips on how to get published.

If you are interested in LGBT+ Fantasy...
Then the book series I am writing might be up your alley.
Tumblr media
A Sky Torn Asunder (The Wandering Way, Book 1)
Badu put her hand flat above her eyes, as if that would help her see something long gone. “I wish I had seen it! I would have chased it if I had seen the thing!”
“Then it’s lucky you didn’t! I don’t need or want to be chasing you all over existence.”
A young man gains the title he has wanted since he was a child, but loses everything else.
20 years later, in a different world, a black comet tears through the sky of Sable’s idyllic island home and changes her life for good. Badu - the sister she loves more than anything - has gone missing, and Sable’s quest to find her drops herself and a childhood friend into a new land unlike anything she could have imagined. Sable is torn between the joy of a new place, her fear of the unknown, and her determination to find her sister. Magic is everywhere. People judge her identity based on her body. Even the farm animals are nothing like she has seen. A stranger in a strange land, bold and tenacious Sable must keep her wits about her as she is forced to plow ahead into a new world to bring Badu home.
However, a much greater threat than Sable knows lurks over them all. In Fairhavell, nothing is as it seems.
The Wandering Way is a trilogy (or so I have planned) about Sable, a young transgender woman from an island without magic. When her sister goes missing, she ends up in Fairhavell, a land full of magic - and rules about her identity and body that she has never before experienced.
Sable is joined in her quest by her disabled war veteran friend, a half dwarf bard, a secretive elf, and more to come in the following books.
I wrote this during NaNoWriMo, and have submitted my pitch for Pitchapalooza. If my pitch is picked and put up for voting, you will be hearing a lot more about this from me very soon.
If not, you will still be hearing a lot more abut this from me anyways.
Here is the Twitter for the series/me as a writer!
Thanks,
Atticus

Pitch Feedback?
Working on my TEQ pitch for the pitchapalooza, if anyone has time to read and give me their thoughts I’d appreciate it!
Llanedd, a purposely average elf with severe anxiety, Trickster Devilish, the kingdom’s most wanted criminal and conartist, and Mar’Gret Merryweather, a kindly yet bloodthirsty old lady, inadvertently find themselves teaming up to defeat Teek d’Arc, an evil wizard dead set on murdering the heir to the throne.
And when ‘murdering’ turns out to actually mean ‘doing an absolutely horrendous job of courting’, and it’s revealed that the not-so-evil-after-all Teek is actually Prince Iaqc’s ex-boyfriend? Honestly, Llanedd and Trickster would have been happy to leave it there, but Mar’Gret and her nail-spiked club can be very persuasive. The plan? Win Iaqc back with the thing he desires most: his missing parents.
With a trip to Necromancers for Hire proving the five-year-absent king and queen are at least still alive, Trickster and Llanedd are forced to go undercover as the kingdom’s least likely couple to talk to the gossip columnist -sorry, investigative journalist­- rumoured to know the monarchs’ whereabouts. It’s not good news.
The Darkunder. A twisting, surrealist realm ruled over by Jefff, god of Minor Inconveniences and Papercuts. Getting in turns out to be easy, but getting out again? That will involve trickery, deceit, the summoning of Mar’Gret’s godfather, and the mortifying reveal of Llanedd’s deepest, most well-protected secret.
Monty Python meets Douglas Adams meets Dungeons&Dragons, The Ex Quest is an enemies-to-queerplatonic-partners comedy that turns the fantasy genre on its head with unexpected twists on classic tropes and a generous helping of #OwnVoices LGBTQ+ representation.

I didn’t submit my pitch to the nanowrimo pitchapalooza contest, because I thought it’d be a good idea to wait until the last minute to rewrite the query after I changed plot details in my manuscript, and then took a bunch of sleeping pills with my cereal before starting in on this task. the deadline was at midnight and I didn’t hit send til 12:01, oops. anyway I like how my new pitch came out...ish. so there’s that.

I think I got my pitch ready for pitchapalooza. Here it is:
In the world of Symphon, magic is power. Nowhere is that more evident than on stage, where mages become idols and swap spells for songs in front of their screaming fans. Most people dream of one day taking the same stage, but for many it doesn’t happen. No one knows this better than Holly Silverstone, an idol hopeful who watched her dreams disappear when she never developed magic. Without that, she could never be like her idol, the fabled Violet Star. Faced with that, what else could she do but give up and turn away? However, one open mic night will bring everything back in sharp clarity. As any idol will tell you, one stage is all it takes to turn things around. Holly discovers this the hard way as her ancient dreams roar back to life in the span of one song. However, what happens when you get what you want years after you gave up on it? Is there still a place on that stage for her, angry as she is? More importantly, why did it take so long for her magic to develop and why does it make everything hurt when she tries to do what she loves most? Holly will discover this the way she does everything else – headfirst and without thinking. Follow her reckless charge back to the stage in Lights, Music, Magic… just watch your step. An idol’s stage is a wild place, after all. 
Would y’all read this? Or I dunno... I really only mention Holly as protag but she’s my favorite type of protagonist - the side character forced to be protagonist because nobody else could fill the ecological niche. In any other novel, she would be a side character - the little sister to an idol trying to find his way again, the snarky tech guiding an up and comer, the ex that broke an idol’s heart. But here she is, our protagonist without a goddamn thing to her name but spite.
