PitMad Party

 

#PitMad is the original twitter pitch event, where writers tweet a 280-character pitch for their completed, polished, unpublished manuscripts. No previously published works. Agents and acquiring editors make requests by liking/favoriting the tweeted pitch.


Every unagented writer is welcome to pitch. All genres/categories are welcomed.

#PitMad occurs quarterly. Upcoming dates are:

• June 3, 2021 (8AM – 8PM EST)
• September 2, 2021 (8AM – 8PM EST)
• December 2, 2021 (8AM – 8PM EST)

Come and cheer on other local writers as they attempt to interest an Agent in their work using only a logline. Or imbibe some liquid courage and join the Pitch War yourself!
