The Power Of Shadows by Abby Geigerman
Princess Estyn was born on the wrong day. She’s not a seasonal enchanter like her brothers; she can’t ignite air, shoot ice, manipulate plants, or command animals. She can barely make it through court functions without getting a splitting headache. The only thing she can do for her kingdom is marry the enchanter who wins her hand. But she wants a life outside of court politics—ideally one filled with mugs of spiced chocolate and books retelling the love story of Day and Night. So as the competition for her hand draws near, she makes plans to run away.
To prepare for her escape, she tests not taking her daily medication. Remarkably, the headaches disappear—but her life gets exponentially more complicated. Shadows tug at her ankles, voices drift through her head, and when it can’t get any worse, the warring kingdom of Alynthia kidnaps her brother.
Estyn knows little of the outside world, but she’d do anything for her brother. So she leaves the only place she’s ever known with a magnetic palace guard she can’t trust. And she allies with Alynthian rebels—including their charismatic leader—in an impossible assassination plot. In this epic journey, Estyn must discern the truth about her kingdom, trust the right people, and conquer a dark and unpredictable magic or lose her brother forever.

Serena Zhang
Game of Tao Tie by Serena Zhang
In the near future, the effects of global warming and pollution have decimated the planet and thrown humanity into lawless chaos. The absence of national governments and borders combined with an extreme wealth gap has led to the creation of a “Global State”, a class-based hierarchical system where most of the world’s population languish in abject poverty while the wealthiest individuals congregate in remote, highly exclusive luxury resorts.
Daoming Lin has never seen rain in all his twenty-two years of life. He barely manages to support himself and his grandmother by selling simple yet brilliant inventions made from scavenged scraps on the underground market. He shares a complicated relationship with his neighbor and childhood-bully-turned-awkward-acquaintance, Baoshan Chen, who makes a meager living as a stone cutter.
When Daoming is offered the chance to participate in a top secret mission that could save the Earth – an experimental video game simulation designed to pit players against one another in order to challenge them to find a cure – one with a handsome reward attached, he jumps at the opportunity.
But when he discovers a malicious glitch in the game that threatens to destroy reality itself, he must do more than just survive if he wants to make it home. With both his realities crumbling around him, Daoming must learn to confront his fears and become his own hero before it’s too late.
GAME OF TAO TIE is a queer, young adult, dystopian sci-fi novel where READY PLAYER ONE meets SNOWPIERCER.

NANOWRIMO PITCHAPALOOZA SUCCESS STORIES
It’s been a great year for past NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza winners.
Gloria Chao won the 2015 NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza with the novel that would become her critically-acclaimed debut American Panda. Her award-winning books have been featured on the “Best of” lists of Seventeen, Bustle, Barnes & Nobles, PopSugar, Paste Magazine, and more. American Panda received four starred trade reviews, was on the Amelia Bloomer list, and was a Junior Library Guild Selection, Indie Next Pick, and YALSA Teens’ Top 10 Pick. Her second novel, Our Wayward Fate, came out in 2019 and her third novel, Rent a Boyfriend, is out now from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.
But that’s not all. Fools in Love, an anthology released December 7, 2021 (Running Press Kids/Hachette), features Gloria and fourteen bestselling, award-winning, and up-and-coming authors as they reimagine some of the most popular themes in the romance genre that are sure to steal your heart. Gloria’s work graces Game On: 15 Stories of Wins, Losses, and Everything in Between that released last month from Viking/Penguin. And coming from Viking Penguin in Fall 2022 is When You Wish Upon a Lantern, a YA romance that sold in a heated auction! In Spring 2023, look for Freshman Orientation, a YA anthology of linked stories set on the first day at a small college, from the perspective of teens moving into their dorms, making new friends, avoiding old ones, and trying to fit in (Candlewick).
Gloria is giving back to aspiring authors by being a 2022 We Need Diverse Books YA mentor.
“Winning Pitchapalooza gave me confidence and the courage to keep fighting. It also helped bring my manuscript to the next level.”
–Gloria Chao
In 2016, May Cobb ran away with NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza. She’s been capturing attention ever since. In 2019, it was a “heated six-publisher auction” that ended with Berkley winning the rights to publish her The Hunting Wives, which was pitched as In a Dark, Dark Wood meets Mean Girls. The Hunting Wives launched in May 2021 with buzz from The Skimm, Cosmopolitan, SheReads, PopSugar, BuzzFeed, Goodreads, E! Online, Crime Reads, Book Riot, Bustle, and more. In September 2021, May announced another two-book deal with Berkley. First up, My Summer Darlings hits bookstores in May 2022: three lifelong friends plus a dangerous, sexy new stranger in town add up to a scorching summer of manipulation, obsession, and murder.
“Having my pitch selected as the 2016 winner for Pitchapalooza was such a boost! Of course it was wonderful to win, but even more than that, having the Book Doctor’s feedback on my pitch was instrumental.”
–May Cobb
Stacy McAnulty has been on fire since she won our third NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza, publishing twenty-eight books and counting. Her latest novel, Millionaires for the Month, is out now from Random House Books for Young Readers. Kirkus calls it “cinematic, over-the-top decadence, a tense race against time, and lessons on what’s truly valuable.” Stacy also signed a deal with Random House to publish another middle grade novel, A Penny Doubled, pitched as How to Steal a Dog meets Brewster’s Millions. She also published three picture books in 2021: A Small Kindness (February 2), Mars! (February 9), and Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack (August 31). And Little, Brown recently won at auction rights to publish her debut nonfiction middle grade Save the People! Halting Human Extinction, a look at our potential demise with a side of humor and a powerful remedy: scientific knowledge. In April 2022, look for Our Planet! There’s No Place Like Earth, and in August, Blood! Not Just a Vampire Drink.
Cari Noga was one of our first NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza winners. Her winning novel, Sparrow Migrations, went on to be a semi-finalist in the 2011 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest, then she received an acquisition offer from Lake Union Publishing. Her latest novel, The Orphan Daughter (Lake Union Publishing), is out now.

10 tips for pitching your novel
Are you feeling a little unsure about exactly how to craft your pitch? We’ve got you covered.
- A great pitch is like a poem. Every word counts.
- Make us fall in love with your hero. Whether you’re writing a novel or memoir, you have to make us root for your flawed but lovable hero.
- Make us hate your villain. Show us someone unique and dastardly whom we can’t wait to hiss at.
- Just because your kids love to hear your story at bedtime doesn’t mean you’re automatically qualified to get a publishing deal. So make sure not to include this information in your pitch.
- If you have any particular expertise that relates to your novel, tell us. Establishing your credentials will help us trust you.
- Your pitch is your audition to show us what a brilliant writer you are, so it has to be the very best of your writing.
- Don’t make your pitch a book report. Make it sing and soar and amaze.
- A pitch is like a movie trailer. You start with an incredibly exciting/funny/sexy/romantic/etc. close-up with intense specificity, then you pull back to show the big picture and tell us the themes and broad strokes that build to a climax.
- Leave us with a cliffhanger. The ideal reaction to a pitch is, “Oh my God, what happens next?”
- Show us what’s unique, exciting, valuable, awesome, unexpected, about your project, and why it’s comfortable, familiar and proven.

TEMPESTUOUS by Saanvi Agarwal
Ishanee Dalaal learns that she has a stomach tumor at 11 am alone in a white hospital. It takes her exactly fifty seconds to decide upon two rules. Don’t tell anyone and don’t die.
Considering that she breaks rule one fifteen minutes later, she might need to rework those. Seriously reworking those because her incompetence at understanding her own illness leaves her to turn to Daya, a gaddāra and once a sister, who is determined to bring all Ishanee’s problems to light and rescue her.
And with that, Ishanee’s life is turned upside down. From her dutiful role as the Indian American daughter following her family’s guidance and the best friend who literally lives to be helpful, she finds estranged relations and secrets everywhere she looks. Suddenly her tumor seems to be the least of her concerns compared to her parent’s sudden interest in her life after years of ignoring her and stalking her best friend to check if he attempting to commit suicide again.
Not that Daya will let her forget about her conditions, because with every panic attack and bloody washing session, she’s closer to breaking rule two. And hiding is only working for so long before Ishanee has to decide just how much she’s willing to help the people she loves with her own life dangling in the air.
TEMPESTUOUS is a 95000 multicultural young adult novel where WHO PUT THIS SONG ON meets DUMPLING DAYS.

Sofia Lourdette Santamaria-Micher
Something In-Between by Sofia Lourdette Santamaria-Micher
After a protest at City Hall goes wrong, Luna, a Mexican-American high school senior, is saved from being pushed into traffic by a boy named Briar. Sparks fly, bad humor is exchanged, and something about a zombie… But more than sparks ignite when she realizes Briar is the son of the racist, white-supremacist candidate for mayor. Briar’s father is against her and her people and she despises his father with every ounce of her saucy Latina blood.
The last thing Luna needs is a tumultuous romance. She’s already juggling the emotional warfare of her parents’ divorce and the painful confusion of being biracial in a world bent on forcing her into one box or another. Yet Briar has brought both new laughter and hope into her life. She doesn’t believe in love, but she does believe in going against the current. And maybe–just maybe–she’s willing to try.
But playing with fire always burns.
Caught between love and hate, marriage and divorce, Mexican and American, Luna struggles to understand who she is when the love in her life is distorted. Will hate decide who she is and who she loves?
SOMETHING IN-BETWEEN is a YA novel about questioning one’s identity during adolescence and being in love despite having everything against you. Told through both humorous and defiant narrations, and a collection of honest poems, SOMETHING IN-BETWEEN is THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR meets ROMEO & JULIET. The manuscript is complete at around 45,800 words.

Holly L. Dutton
Class of ’79 by Holly L. Dutton
There are few places more dangerous than a high school parking lot ten minutes before the bell rings. But at Mountain Vista High School, the danger doesn’t end with fender benders in the student lot.
When Kari starts her first year of teaching, she expects a steep learning curve, maybe a few difficult students. She does not expect to be starting her new career in a crime scene. But the murder of the school’s winning football coach the first week of school is just the beginning.
Kari’s classroom is broken into, her overzealous journalism students are on the trail of the murderer, the vice principal hates her and one of her co-workers just may be the guilty party. Unless it’s one of the students.
As Kari gets to know her fellow teachers, she starts to have a few ideas about who might be responsible for the school’s crime spree. But she’s not the only one with crime solving instincts. The home economics teacher, source of school lore, random gossip, and fabulous baked goods, Grace Billingsly, has other ideas. She thinks it’s Kari. Now Kari has to solve the crime to prove her innocence.
Set against the end of an era, Class of 79, is rollicking trip to the past, complete with rock and roll music, muscle cars and murder.

Emily Esterson
Three Ingredients (working title) By Emily Esterson
Augustin Fortier has magic in his hands. His baguettes taste of love and effort, with an open crumb and crackly crust. Gifted with the “mother” that has been passed down in his family for centuries and the ambition of youth, Augustin is a shoe-in to win the Prix de Baguette. The key to his win? The “mother,” and wheat grown by his farmer friend, Lynette. One summer afternoon, Augustin finds the bakery’s basement door ajar, the lock cut. The “mother,” and his grandmother’s journals of formulas, are gone.
Simon DeNotre, the distant cousin who owns the Paris bakery, thwarts Augustin’s ambition at every turn, forcing him to sell pre-made commercial bread, turning off the ovens, sabotaging Augustin’s efforts to return DeNotre’s into what it had been when his grandmother baked there just after the war—one of the best bakeries in Paris. Was it DeNotre who stole the Mother? Or was it the woman in the yellow raincoat who passes by every day, looks in the window, and sometimes stands across the street just watching?
A combination of Chocolat by Joanne Harris, and Jenny Colgan’s Little Beach Street Bakery, Three Ingredients is about the curse of ambition, the mystery of family, and the magic of bread. The author is a professional writer/editor, holds an MFA in nonfiction, and teaches journalism at Arizona State University’s Cronkite School. She spent two years in France, is an avid baker, and attended the San Francisco Baking Institute.
