Kate loves all things fantasy, contemporary, historical, steampunk, dystopian, and magical realism. Kate spends far too much time messing around on the Internet and occasionally succumbs to caffeine-induced fits of hysteria at 2:00 a.m.
She is currently finishing up her ninth novel, which took first place in the LDS Storymakers First Chapter Contest. Later that year, Kate underwent a comprehensive evaluation of her editorial skills, beating out dozens of post-grad students for an editorial internship at a mid-sized publisher. She received the prestigious Sterling Scholar Grant in 2011 based on an extensive creative writing sample. In addition to having extensive experience as a freelance editor, Kate worked as an intern at Scholastic Press, where she read many agented and unagented submissions. As a YA autho, her novel LIKE CLOCKWORK won Scholastic’s PUSH Novel Contest when she was 16 years old. She helped found Teen Eyes in 2011, working with clients from all over the world to perfect their manuscripts. Kate Coursey has been editing professionally since 2010. (Single spaced, a space between paragraphs, no indentions.) If the 250th word stops in the middle of a sentence, go to the end of that sentence.
If you make it into Pitch Wars and win a critique from Teen Eyes, you and your mentor will decide how best to use the critique. The critique would be an added pair of eyes on your manuscript … teen eyes. Each Teen Eyes editor will pick the entry they feel is best, and then work with that writer on the critique.Ĭan I enter this contest if I entered Pitch Wars? Absolutely.

The winners will receive a free 25-page critique from the editors. What are the prizes? There will be three (3) winners. The winners will be announced on September 1st. The three Teen Eyes editors will go through the comments and each select one winner. Your manuscript doesn’t have to be completed, but the pitch and first page should be polished. How is this going to work? You’ll post a 35-word pitch and the first 250 words of your middle grade or young adult manuscript in the comments of this post from now and we’ll take entries until August 26 at 1PM EDT. So what better way to find out than a contest with the talented teens of TEEN EYES EDITORIAL. Have you ever wondered if your manuscript would hook a teen reader? We all have.
