A year-and-a-half ago on a whim, I entered a little contest (under exaggeration there) called Pitch Madness. Amazingly I got in and had all kinds of interest, all of which led to an offer of representation! Woo hoo!!Brenda Drake is one of the most giving authors I've ever encountered, and I owe her a lot, so today I want to do some giving back of my own. If you haven't heard, Pitch Madness is open for entries TODAY! Right up until 11:59 EDT. All entries time-stamped before that time will be considered (no cut-offs!). You can find more information HERE. But seriously, if you are seeking an agent, you should enter. Really.
Now, I am not claiming to be an expert, but I have had a lot of success with my past pitches, SO . . . as a way to give back, from now until 4:00 PM EDT (of Monday, March 10th), I am offering to critiquing/helping with anyone's pitch who wants help.
Simply send an e-mail to rjljohnson (dot) janet (at) gmail (dot) com with PITCH CRIT in the subject line, and the pitch you want critiqued in the body (remember, the pitches can only be 35 words). Feel free to ask any specific questions there, too. I will respond in the order they're received.
Please spread the word, and wishing all the Pitch Madness entrants the best of luck!

That's a very generous offer! Good luck to everyone entering Pitch Wars today!
So generous and helpful of you, Janet! :)
Late to the party...not that I'm in any position to send pitches anywhere. Taking the last year off writing has set me back a bit!
