It was so exciting to announce the Longlists for the 2023 Pitch It! Competition last week! Today, it’s such an absolute THRILL to reveal the fabulous Pitch It! SHORTLISTS! These talented writers will all receive feedback on their pitches from our hard-working judges.
The following pitches stood out to the judges for their high level of intrigue, originality, emotion and well-crafted flow, and particularly, an enticing hook upfront and a clear point of difference.
Huge thanks once again to Debra Tidball, Amelia McInerney, Kate Gordon and Crystal Corocher xx
