Pleroma made it to the second round!
On February 25th, the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards released the names of those novels that made it to the second round of the competition. Out of the 5,000 entries 1,000 were chosen. This decision was made purely based upon a 300 pitch for the book. Pleroma is one of those 1,000 pitches that advanced.
If this were American Idol then Pleroma made it past the 15 second tent audition in the stadium and now it gets to stand in front of Simon in the audition room.
Reviewers from Amazon will read the 5,000 word excerpts from each of the 1000 manuscripts chosen and choose 250 of them to advance to the Semi-Finals. If Pleroma is selected to be among the 250, then it will receive an official review from Publisher’s Weekly. We’ll find out on March 25th.
