There are general tags used across pitch events. A really great resource to familiarize yourself with genre and age category tags:

#LuckyPit
TODAY IS THE DAYYYY!
We are so excited to see all your amazing pitches so far! We’d also like to clear up some confusion with the event tags.
The only required tags are #LuckyPit and EITHER #PopUpPitA or #PopUpPitE depending on if you’re seeking Agents or Editors 💚
Hello! The only required tags are #LuckyPit and EITHER #PopUpPitA or #PopUpPitE. Not all three. Apologies for the confusion!
That is correct!
The rules for the event are listed above, however the only part that is new is that you will need a completed manuscript to participate. Hope to see your pitches out there!
Hey! The newsletter is only for industry professionals ie agents, editors, etc. If you fall under that category, we can absolutely add you!
You can put them if you want, but agents won’t be searching them :)
Rules remain the same here on BlueSky! Three pitches per project, use the mandatory event tags, and post between 8a-8p EDT :)
Self published authors can absolutely participate as long as they are seeking an agent or editor. This event is primarily for novels, yes
And remember folks—
Agented Authors looking for Editors: #PopUpPitE
Unagented Authors looking for Agents: #PopUpPitA
Happy Shamrockin’! ☘️

Pop Up Pit is doing a poll on the 🐦 app!
We have noticed a large influx of pitch events being announced. As you know, Pop Up keeps our event a "surprise". It's a bit harder to avoid overlap!
To combat pitch fatigue, we are letting YOU decide whether we should proceed with our 12/3 event or not!
Hey, #agentsofsky / #literaryagents and #editors make sure you like this post so we can make sure we’re following you!
Karma, manifestation, cheerful
Fun!
For my WIP:
Joseph is distant, observant and thoughtful
Janusz is cunning, charming and indulgent
Katarina is curious, headstrong, responsible
It’s completely in the dark, has lots of fast paced twists and turns, maybe a dead end or two, then a huge drop at the end. #PopUpUnpack #writingcommunity

THE WHOLE CARNIVAL BABY LETS GOOOO 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
#WealdandWen would be an on the rails ride, taking riders through atmospheric set pieces. Visitors should expect warm mists, bright colors in all the wrong places, deepest shadows and chittering things lashing out to muss hair and tug clothes.
#PopUpUnpack (fun thing here, thank you for doing it)
Ooo i think TMoD would be either a) a dragon themed roller coaster thats exhilarating and kind of beautiful OR b) a slow, spooky, dark ride through a nature infested horror house that leaves you wanting to crawl out your own skin…
#PopUpUnpack #WritingCommunity
For #PopUpUnpack, here are the protagonists and primary antagonist of #wealdandwen
Mitra: manic, sincere, sensitive
Faerai: curious, reflective, brash
Delgrij: sullen, guarded, loving
Parnamyr: gluttonous, salacious, sensitive
The Hollow: hungry, eager, desperate
