Pitchie has taken her blog down, but she's still around:

The question I want to ask her is: "How's that working out for you?" She's apparently a veteran of four of these things (and planning to do a fifth), but hasn't managed to sell her book yet.
My advice to her would be to use different words in another order to tell a new story. It'll take a long time for postage costs in submitting her next novel to add up to $600.
