As some of you know, I'm a #pitmad success story. Back in 2013, I attracted the attention of Meredith Rich of Bloomsbury Spark with my pitch for my novel THE SWEET SPOT. That's not the book that I ultimately ended up writing with Bloomsbury, but it started our relationship. Link
Needless to say, I love #pitmad. This past week, I got to help out Brenda Drake by co-hosting the most recent. I spent the day tweeting tips, so I thought I'd put them all here in one place.
I'd love to answer questions about pitches. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions about my experience!
***
Be professional on twitter. An agent during #pitmad mentioned being turned off by someone's negative tweets & chose not to favorite. #pubtip
Tweets are public. Expect industry pros to look at your feed and bio. Act accordingly if you expect to be treated professionally. #pitmad
If agent is open to queries and reps what you write, query traditionally, even if they don't favorite. #pitmad.
Pitching today during #pitmad? Be sure you have a MS ready to send in case someone "favorites" it! Be prepared to submit!
Share the #pitmad love. If you like a pitch, retweet it. Leave stars (favorites) for the pros. Total heart attack for the author. #pitmad
The best pitches are specific. MC, goal, stakes, and genre. Hard to do, but worth the effort. #pitmad
