Launch Pad Prose Winner Brett Ellen Block signed with Joanna Mackenzie at Nelson Literary Agency through the competition. ?? "The Launch Pad team has been invaluable. After winning first place for my novel HEMINGWAY SLEPT HERE, I heard from them immediately and they connected me with an amazing literary agent, who I’ve since signed with. Now we’re preparing to go out to publishers with the book. Geoffroy has provided expert insight and guidance, which I’m truly grateful for." "Pitch yourself to yourself. What genres are you drawn to and why? How has the plot of your life shaped your material? What themes do you gravitate toward? The more I leaned into my personal pitch, the more it helped me decide which projects to pursue to ensure my portfolio was cohesive and best represented me as a writer." - Brett LaunchPad Prose is now open - enter before the early deadline here: https://lnkd.in/gxGCSWBv
