For the evening crowd! I'm still looking for a few more people to test the tentative #PitchDis pitch form. This is open to EVERYONE, whether you're eligible for PitchDis or not. You can submit more than once, and you can even use fake information. Thanks to those who have already helped out!

Oops, forgot to mention that anyone can test the form. You don't have to be a potential #PitchDis participant or meet the eligibility requirements while we're in test mode.

Along with the little impromptu sneak peek of the pitch form (see previous post), I'm planning a couple more surprises for #PitchDis this year. I can't wait to share them with everyone!

Psst you. Yeah, you. Want to help #PitchDis and get an early sneak peek at the (tentative) new pitch form? I need volunteers to enter info so I can test a few things out. You can use real or made up info. Just click on the link below. forms.gle/WfrB68UqKmfS...

I know I promised #PitchDis news in mid-February, but I'm running a little behind 😬 That doesn't mean I haven't been prepping, though! Watch this space during the next week or two.

#PitchDis just hit milestone today - 500 newsletter subscribers! 🥳 Thank you for all your support.

I've had a couple writers recently withdraw immediately saying they signed with another agent, so I thought I'd do a mini chat on what's expected once you receive an offer. 1) thank the offering agent. Let them know you still have materials out and ask for 2 weeks to make your decision.

Hi Bluesky! It's about time to do an intro post here 👀 #RevPit is a writing community co-founded in 2017 by a group of editors. It supports authors through mini-events, editor focused chats, and an annual contest. 🧵

Heads up, Dreamspinner Press Is back to soliciting submissions at Dreamspinner Publications despite a long history (here’s a post from 2019) of screwing over authors. I know one such author. I also used to proofread/copyedit for DSP and their rates were…… low. writerbeware.blog/2019/09/13/a...

The wrap up usually marks the end of #PitchDis season, so I'm taking a much needed break. I'll still be around to answer questions and retweet info from our other pitch contest friends, but replies may take a little longer than usual.

I'm reposting this as a reminder. There were so. many. pitches. Just like when #PitchDis was on Twitter, pitches were bound to be missed. So please don't give up on your ms or writing because of one event.

Okay everyone, stopping for the day. I still have about 50 emails to send out tomorrow (and possibly Tuesday). Also, I received a few questions via email. I'll be getting to those after all the requests are sent.
