Saturday, December 12, 2015 10 am - 6 pm Sunday, December 13, 2015 11 am - 6 pm Twitter Pitch Parties are for writers to tweet a 140-character pitch for their completed and polished manuscript(s) directly to publishers OR agents. If your 140-character pitch is favorited by a publisher OR agent, you may submit your manuscript by following their submission guidelines. How can I participate? All you need is to jump onto Twitter the days of a Party and post your pitch! When writing your 140-character pitch, make sure to leave enough room to include #Party Hashtag, #Age and #Genre in the tweet. How do I know if a publisher OR agent is interested in my manuscript? Publishers and agents will favorite your tweet if they wish to see more. If you receive a favorite (heart), follow their submission directions on their website or look for them on the hosting website.
