*IT'S TWITTER PITCH PARTY TIME*
*Belted out to the tune of 'peanut butter jelly time.' Now that's stuck in your head. You're welcome.*
WOOHOOO! It's time! It's time!
--->We go live at 5am
pacific time on 7/12/13, and the pitching will continue all day long. The
agents/editors will respond to the pitches they want to request.
IF an agent or editor does not respond, but favorites your pitch instead,
please view their feed to see if they've mentioned what they want from starred
pitches, OR ASK ONE OF US FOR HELP.
--->If you did not get through to the top 56, and
even if you did, please join us for the Twitter Pitch Party!
ANYONE
can participate!
--->BUT (yes, there's a but, not butt--sorry), your manuscript MUST BE COMPLETED AND
POLISHED.
Did you
read that? Go back and read it again. I'll wait. *whistles*
Completed and polished. Please, please, please do not pitch an idea
or a half-written manuscript.
--->Twitter pitches MUST BE 140 Characters
or Less, and they HAVE TO INCLUDE THE HASHTAG. Don't make
the agents and editors work to read what you're pitching because
you've broken your pitch into more than one tweet. That will just annoy them,
irritate your fellow pitchers, and ensure that your pitch gets lost among the
others.
--->Please
keep your Twitter pitching to no more than TWO PER HOUR, per manuscript.
Do not fill up the feed with your pitch over and over again. This, too, will
annoy the agents and editors involved, as well as ruining it for everyone
else--which I know you don't really want to do, do you? (Plus,
people WILL remember you for it.)
Twitter pitch parties are a LOT of fun--trust us, we've both done
many as both hosts and pitchers--but please don't get carried away. TWO PITCHES
PER HOUR is plenty, and doesn't bog down the feed.
Please respect us, the agents and editors participating, and your
fellow writers by respecting these rules.
You are welcome to pitch more than one manuscript, but please
only pitch EACH manuscript no more than TWICE per hour.
Follow along with the hashtag: #PitchMAS
Make
sure you follow all of our blogs, and following us on Twitter probably wouldn't
hurt either. (We often post the same #PitchMAS related info, but you never know
when only one of us will tweet something important.)

XO,
Jessa & Tamara
Yes, I do now have Peanut Butter Jelly Time in my head. Thanks. :P
ReplyDeleteSo anyone can pitch today on Twitter, whether they did the previous party or not?
ReplyDeleteWhen does it end, on Twitter? I just see the beginning time.
YES! Anyone can pitch, as long as the manuscript is completed and polished!
DeleteThere's no official end time--we'll just try to keep an eye on whether or not agents and editors are in the feed and keep you posted. :-)

DeleteSorry for bogging you party down. There were several blogspots that were touting rules and the one that I read was obviously not the correct one. I will delete some of the offending tweets and obey the rules you have. Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea.
