Virtual Manuscript Pitch Event

7 Minutes in Heaven
Passion Pitch

Pitch your romance manuscript directly to our publishing team in an intimate, fun 7-minute virtual session inspired by the classic game

The Concept

Just like the classic game "7 Minutes in Heaven," where two people enter a closet and something magical might happen, writers will have 7 minutes to pitch their romance manuscripts to our publishing team. It's intimate, exciting, and designed specifically for romance writers who understand the thrill of that perfect connection.

Unlike expensive pitch events that charge $40+ per session, we're keeping it affordable and accessible. No middlemen. Just you, your story, and our team ready to listen.
