Pitch Your Book Contest
Grand Prize: $2,000 USD + $2,500 Worth of Book Mentorship with YA Author Kylie Schachte + Publication
It’s safe to assume that you are on the journey toward finishing that great YA novel. Whether you’re still meeting the characters in your head or adjusting that one comma on the final page, you can get something great out of this opportunity—send us your best book ideas!
We’re proud to announce that Voyage has partnered with YA author, Kylie Schachte to provide one writer with the opportunity to receive 25 hours of direct, one-on-one book coaching (a $2500 value)! The 25 hours will be a combination of sessions and allotted time for Kylie to read pages. Kylie will work with authors to best determine how those hours will be divided.
In addition to the coaching, the winner will also receive publication of a chapter/excerpt of their choice and $2000 in payment.
No matter where you are on the book journey, this mentoring program will move your work forward. If you’ve had the idea in your head for years, but never knew how to start; if you finished the book years ago but have not known how to move it forward to selling and publication; if you’re adding the finishing touches on the epilogue—we’ll pair you with author, coach, and mentor Kylie Schachte, to help you find the best version of your story. The mentorship will be guided by your own commitment and sense of urgency. Do not let this opportunity to take your book to the next level pass!
Send us your best book pitch. We know a lot of you are bursting with stories, so you can include up to two separate pitches for each submission.
Your submission should include:
- A query letter (max 1 page)
- A synopsis (1-2 pages max)

- Info about where you are on the project
Our team will read through all the pitches and select the winner. Our judging criteria is based on what we feel is the most compelling idea and most thrilling pitch.
