Well, I did it. Swallowed my fear and submitted Dragon Dreams to their mentorship. It was hard narrowing down the potential mentors and it took me a few days of review, interview and podcast watching, but I picked the four I think will click best with me and the book.
I’ve had this out to agents and so far it’s been rejected. Professional writers in my writers group like the book but none of them are agents. I hope I am picked so I can find out what needs to be done to strengthen the weak spots and get this manuscript ready for success. I’m willing to change things; just ask my editors! I actually enjoy editing. I liken it to taking a dress that doesn’t fit and taking it apart at the seams, altering it and then sewing it back together again, better than before.
Wish me luck, friends.

It’s great reading your Pitch Wars update. I have always been meaning to join but never got around to it. Wishing you all the best, Wendy!
It is both an exciting and anxious time. Did the mentors I chose like what I sent? Did they like it enough to request more? So far the answer seems to be no. One good side affect from submitting to PitchWars is the friends I have made on twitter. So many of us are sharing our thoughts and worries about it. Met some great folks.
