• PitchMAS submission window opens at 9:00am pacific time, Sunday, December 15th. Submissions received before that time will be deleted. 

• PitchMAS submission window closes at 6:00pm pacific time, Monday, December 16th. Submissions received after that time will be deleted.

• Your email MUST be formatted exactly like the example above (minus the brackets). Submissions that are not formatted correctly will instantly be disqualified. You will NOT be notified if you are disqualified. 

• PitchMAS is for completed manuscripts only. The only works we are closed to at this time are poetry, graphic novels and short stories/anthologies. 

• You are welcome to pitch more than one manuscript, but each must completed and polished, AND must be in its own submission email. (This goes for Twitter pitching as well. Please Twitter-pitch no more than two times per hour, per manuscript.)

• We will read through all submissions and post the TOP 75 right here on the blog on Thursday, December 19th. PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT on the pitches we post UNLESS you are an agent or editor, OR unless an agent or editor asks you a specific question. 

• TWITTER PITCHES: If you do not get through to the top 75, and even if you do, please join us for the Twitter Pitch Party on Friday, December 20th. 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, PER MANUSCRIPT 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.
