There is a site obviously created by AI that is pretending to be a continuation of Pitch Wars. It is not, has nothing to do with anyone involved in #pitchwars, and looks quite scammy. Please beware & tell your friends. @brendadrake.bsky.social @kellyekell.bsky.social @authorsoniahartl.bsky.social

for any #editors that might be lurking! 🦋 all of my finished projects in one place ; 🦋 #WritingCommunity
