Here’s the date for #Pit2Pub: July 18, 2018 starts at 8AM and ends at 8PM (CST or CDT, which is Chicago time). What is #Pit2Pub? A Twitter pitch party for writers to tweet a 280-character pitch for their completed manuscripts. Have several variations of your Twitter pitch available. The pitch must include the hashtag #Pit2Pub and the category (#YA, #MG, #A, etc. see chart below) in the tweet. It's important to include the hashtag. Category Hashtags: #YA = Young Adult #MG = Middle Grade #A = Adult #NA = New Adult
RULES:
Authors of all genres are welcome to pitch their completed and polished manuscripts. You can pitch more than one manuscript. Tweet your pitch throughout the day, but no more than twice per hour per manuscript. When you see an industry professional on the feed, tweet it once. Remember to include the hashtag #Pit2Pub and your genre/category. The 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 and send them their request as soon as you can. They should have tweeted what they want you to send, so check their twitter feed for that information. If they haven’t listed it, follow their submission guidelines on their websites. Make sure to put “Pit2Pub Request: TITLE” in the subject line of your email when sending your request. 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 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 the industry professionals. If you do see abuse, please report it to Twitter or notify one of the hosts of the event. Thank you!
