With PitMad you create a 280 character tweet, but it must include the hashtag #PitMad AND a genre hashtag, such as #YA for young adult. #PitMad is for all writers of all genres. That does not mean that they will automatically offer you representation, but if they like what they read, they may offer for you to be one of their clients – putting you one step closer to your dream.
If an agent likes (or “hearts”) your tweet, you have a free pass to send them your manu script. What does it mean if an agent “hearts” your pitch? Read rules carefully before participating. Many pitch parties have increased their allowed character counts. * Please note: because of the twitter character limit increase. Usually, the parties happen on specific days of the year, during specific hours in the day. Most pitch parties have you sum up your book in 140 characters * or less, including the pitch party’s hashtag (which allows agents to see your tweet). Let’s just say agents are kind of important in the traditional publishing world.
Literary agents are essential since there are some publishing houses that will only look at your manuscript if it’s submitted through an agent. What exactly is a Twitter Pitch Party?Įach pitch party has slightly different rules that I’ll explain below, but the objective for each is the same – to help you find a literary agent using a finished and polished manuscript as your bait. They’re a chance for agents to hear about your story, and if you’re lucky, they’ll sign you as one of their clients. Finding an agent to take your writing to the next level can be even harder! That’s why other writers have created Twitter Pitch Parties.
