The end of the year is almost here! There are a lot of agents who have closed for queries until January, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still a few opportunities to get in front of some great agents over the next several weeks.
#PitMad
The last round of #PitMad for 2016 will be on December 1st. Never heard of it? It’s a Twitter pitch free for all and arguably one of the more fun Twitter pitch events out there. All you need is a finished MS and 140-character pitch (including the important #pitmad hashtag). There are rules for pitching, so make sure to do your research first. All of te details can be found on Brenda Drake’s blog: www.brenda-drake.com/pitmad
#PitMad tip: Have multiple versions of your Twitter pitch ready. You’re allowed to tweet up to 3 different pitches (per project).
