"Happy Birthday! Have Fun, Relax and don't take life too seriously :-D"
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"Not enough on the screen here to interest me. Cracking the suburban perfection and revealing secrets isn't anything new and exciting. What is your hook, the one event that will make readers want to see Pru succeed?"
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"I can't decide if you're trying to be flip and funny or serious about these girls and their superpowers. They "almost feel like superheroes" just for turning on the TV without a remote and wear sexy costumes? There's a real…"
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"I like a tough, angry heroine, but this feels exhausting! I don't know who the Protectors are and they seem like a major plot point, which is problematic. What I like most is the idea of the girl in a world of men, making her own way."
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"Human sacrifice? Whoa. Not a lot of that in YA these days, and I'm not sure how I would sell that to an editor. Otherwise, this is a good pitch. "
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"I have to reject this because you spelled Carlie wrong. Kidding!
I would really love more books with Mormon characters, but I'm not wholly enticed by this pitch. I think there's too much at the beginning and not enough hook. The last line…"
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"Tell me what the secret is, and that will make me decide whether to pursue this book. Also, I had a problem with both of the main characters having non-gender-specific names, becasue it sounds like Taylor owns the pond and Taylor is male. I…"
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"There's some clutter going on here. You have the hoodie, which I can buy in this era of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer, but then I can't figure out how serious, or not, you're trying to be. I'd like to see more on this "one…"
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"I find this intriguing to the point where I'd want to see how the book is executed. How much of the book is set in reality, and how much is unreliable visions? I'm not sure why she has to choose between sanity and her loved ones."
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"I've seen this plot many, many times. Even though I love a good friendship story (whether the friend is alive, dead, or otherwise), I'd want to know what makes this special than other "road trip for dead loved ones" books."
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"This isn't a bad pitch, but it doesn't excite me. I think getting to the action faster would help. Right now, we have to wait until just past the halfway point of the pitch to find out a big point of the plot."
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"The slugs that killed Bonnie and Clyde aren't in a museum? Or they're not well-guarded enough so that it's easy for a teenager to "impulsively" steal them? Possession by undead criminal spirits could work, but I'd want…"
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"I'm sorry, but I have no idea what your book is about, much less its genre. Gaming? An artist who kills people? Needs more concrete plot description."
Carlie Webber replied to Georgia McBride's discussion Pitch-Slam Weekend January 13-15, 2012 with Rachel Dugas, Leah Hultenschmidt and Carlie Webber"The first sentence doesn't make much sense. After a couple of reads, I figured out that she saw angels, thought she was crazy, but then realized that others must be having similar crazy visions and committed suicide (supposedly). I think. Also,…"
