I love your personality in this video. Check on the word count for Upper MG. 75K is kind of high in my opinion. Keep pitching and get ready for Trick or Treat with an agent coming Oct. 24.

"OR SO SHE SAYS!!!" and "FOREVER!!", lol, very spooky. And overall, your pitch was very focused on just the three most important characters, which really helped me follow along. It sounds like an exciting journey!<br /><br />John Krissilas, #40<br />http://www.johnkrissilas.com/John Krissilashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02683306221234743057noreply@blogger.com
