![]() Nicole: Summarize your book in three words.Įllie: Summarize your mentee’s book in three words.

I initially submitted to her in great part because she is neuro-diverse, as is her MG novel’s main character (as am I and mine), and neuro-diversity is absolutely intrinsic to both my manuscript and my life, so I knew we’d be a great match.Įllie: Why did you choose Nicole and PLANET EARTH IS BLUE?īesides being extremely interested in neuro-diversity and the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, I absolutely fell in love with Nicole’s main character, Nova. ![]() ![]() While I would have been content to work with any of the mentors I submitted to (all are awesome!) I was beyond thrilled when I saw Ellie’s name beside mine on the #PitchWars list because I knew she would share my vision for the manuscript, would help me whip it into shape, and perhaps most importantly, that she would share my love and understanding of my main character, who is nonverbal/autistic and OBSESSED with space and space travel. Our mentors are editing, our mentees are revising, and we hope you’re making progress on your own manuscript! While we’re all working toward the Agent Showcase on November 3rd-9th, we hope you’ll take a moment during your writing breaks and get to know our 2016 Pitch Wars Teams. ![]()
