- You are welcome to pitch more than one manuscript, but each must be in its own submission email.
- We will read through all submissions and post the TOP 50 right here on the blog on Thursday, July 11th. PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT on the pitches we post UNLESS you are an agent or editor.
- TWITTER PITCHES: If you do not get through to the top 50, and even if you do, please join us for the Twitter Pitch Party on Friday, July 12th. This will go on all day long, and agents/editors will respond to the pitches they want to request. Twitter pitch parties are a LOT of fun, but please don't get carried away. TWO PITCHES PER HOUR is plenty, and doesn't bog down the feed. Please respect 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.

This is kind of a silly question, but do you want everything in brackets in the e-mail? Or was that just for the example?
ReplyDeleteThat was just for the example. Maybe I'll remove those. :-)
DeleteI think we'll all understand anyway, but just in case: You have dates wrong in your bulleted list. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! What a doofus I am. Thank you! I fixed them!! :-)

ReplyDeleteOk, this might be a silly question, but: do you want the words "Name" and "Title," etc or do you just want the info?
ReplyDeleteYes! We want the "name and title" etc too please.
DeleteIt is the top 50 pitches, not the first 50, correct? :)
ReplyDeleteCorrect! So no rush.
DeleteI emailed you but perhaps others are wondering. If you screw up, and send, then notice it, can you redo, resend? Please tell me you are not SOL. . .
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of screw up was it? Meh, you caught me at a good cop moment. Redo and resend and mention in the email for us to delete the other one.
