Submission window will be open from
Sunday 12/13/14 at 9:00amPST until Monday 12/14/15 at 6:00pmPST.

THURSDAY 12/17/15
BLOG PITCH PARTY
{35 Words or Less}
{35 Words or Less}
The TOP 50 pitches will go live on the PitchMAS blog at MIDNIGHT on Thursday, 12/17/15. Agents and editors will have the entire day (as well as all day Friday!) to comment and make requests.
Please do NOT comment if you are not an agent or editor. THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE is if an agent/editor has asked a SPECIFIC question. Any other non-agent/editor responses or comments will be deleted.
FRIDAY 12/18/15
TWITTER PITCH PARTY
{140 Characters or Less}
TWITTER PITCH PARTY
{140 Characters or Less}
All day long on Friday, 12/18/15, we will have our PitchMAS Twitter Party!
Agents and editors will follow the hashtag #PitchMAS, reading your awesome pitches. ANYONE can participate, even if you didn't make it into the 50 selected blog pitches.
However, your manuscript MUST BE COMPLETED and POLISHED.
Twitter pitches MUST BE 140 Characters or Less and HAVE TO include the hashtag. DO NOT make the agents and editors work by breaking your pitch into more than one tweet. That will just annoy them and your fellow pitchers. We also advise against making them click a link to get to your pitch. Guess what? They won't. Also, including images with your pitch is gimmicky and we advise against it.
Please keep your Twitter pitching to no more than TWO PITCHES PER HOUR. Do not fill up the feed with your pitch over and over again. This will annoy the agents and editors involved, as well as ruining it for everyone else and people WILL remember you for it.
Follow along with the hashtag: #PitchMAS
Participating agents and editors will be announced soon!
In the meantime, make sure you follow both of us on Twitter. (We often post the same #PitchMAS related info, but you never know when only one of us will tweet something important.)

I'll be entering PitchSlam--if I'm chosen, am I still allowed to enter PitchMAS?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteMy name is Heather Powell and I'm an editor at BookFish Books. I'd love to be added to the list of professionals for Pitchmas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm co-founder of Velvet Morning Press and I registered to participate in Pitchmas as a publisher several months ago. I'm posting this to verify I'm on your list... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Adria. People can't just sign up to be judges for Pitchmas. Right now our Editor list is pretty full and we're still waiting for a few confirmations, so we can't invite you to be an official judge, but everyone is welcome to participate in the twitter pitch party.
DeleteHi :)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if it's the same email address we use as last year's PitchMas? (the one at gmail)
Thank you :)
Magali
Oh, yes. I too want to know about the email address. Also, I can't remember if we can submit only one manuscript, or free to submit two for the blog contest.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you two do!
Hello!
ReplyDeleteSo excited about this week ... first time doing this sort of thing. Can I submit more than one pitch (for the same project) to the honing workshop? What about the submission window day and twitter party? Also curious about the email address. Thank you!!
What email address do you use for the submission window contest on the 13th and 14th? Its the 35 word pitch, but I don't understand where you send your pitch. Thanks.
