Title is All Aboard the Crazy Train against a concrete wall with Optimism for the Emotionally Exhausted sprawled in bright blue underneath.
Below is a 3/4 of a gray train engine with a black front, black windows, and a white headlight on a train track. The rest of the cars in black with white windows getting smaller. A blue stripe runs along the outside of the train with Crazy Train graffitied under the stripe.

Nora Doesn't Talk
Nora has sensory issues.
Colors were too loud, words were too bright, and her thoughts were too jumbled and heavy to get out. Until one day mom gives her a pair of pink glasses and a hat with earflaps.

The Day I Became an Art Sensation!

An inspired kindergartner dreams of the day she becomes an art sensation. Like, museum-famous. Like, red-rope-around-her-paintings famous. Detailing just how life will turn out until she tries to figure out what to paint.

Sorry, I am new to all this...is there a specific word count for pitches? And to clarify...I can pitch as many manuscripts as I want 3 times a day? So, if I do two stories that would be 2 seperate pitches in the AM 2 in the afternoon and 2 in the PM, correct? Thank you!
