Lana Shupe is author of The Lonely Little Lighthouse. - FACEBOOKRead by the Sea was a virtual life changer for a Canadian author.
That July, she travelled to the event and helped with the opening of Mabel Murple’s Book Shoppe and Dreamery where she met committee members in person. “Oh, what a glorious day that was!” If you are an aspiring writer aged 18 or older with a manuscript collecting dust in a desk or buried deep among other files on your hard drive, Pitch the Publisher is your opportunity to finally get published. It worked for Shupe.
Local author Monica Graham, a long-time committee member of Read by the Sea Festival says, “Aspiring authors will be given three minutes to pitch their works to a panel of regional publishers. The publishers will be tailored to the theme of the pitches; for example, if the projects being pitched this year are all children’s books, then the publishers will all be geared toward that genre.”
