![]() With so many Twitter Pitch Parties running in the year, I thought I'd go over some basics. Authors of are welcome to pitch their completed and polished manuscripts. You can usually pitch more than one manuscript. Tweet your pitch throughout the day, but no more than twice per hour per manuscript. Remember to include the hashtag required and the genre. Publishers will tweet their submission preferences and favorite your tweet if they wish to see more. If you get a favorite from an agent or publisher, follow their submission directions on their website or look for them on the Twitter feed. Then send them their request as soon as you can. Don’t tweet agents and publishers directly unless they tweet you first. Don’t favorite friends’ tweets. You can RT your friends to show your support. Save favoriting for publisher and agent requests to avoid confusion. Be sure you research each requesting publisher. Don’t submit if you don’t want to work with them. Be nice and courteous to each other and to the industry professionals. If you do see abuse, please report it to Twitter or the host of the Twitter Pitch Party. #KidPit: May 27, 2015.
