so far ive done in #HoliPit, #BluePit, #YouDeservepIt, and #P2Ppit. it has been an overwhelming serotonin boost that got my head spinning round round like a record baby. i loved seeing everyone's pitches & networking. but remember not to burn out w/ all these contests! take care of urself always
Hey, #BluePitHype! Something I found immensely helpful was to look at past pitch events like #HoliPit and #WIPPIT and see what others did. My plan is to post three different pitches at different times of day, then later compare their likes & reposts to see what resonates the most with others.
*rubs hands* My experience from the last #WIPpit and #HoliPit events last month shall come in handy!
Maybe.
Looking forward to read everyone's pitches during #BluePit! Good luck all <3
A good place to start looking for inspiration is other people's pitches from previous events!
#CheerPit, #WIPPIt, and #HoliPit ran in December and #UnhingedPit ran in November (though they focus on unconventional pitches).
Going through these hashtags may help you get started. Good luck!
i am *late* to the party but finally found some time to lurk over at @holipit.bsky.social and i’m finding some gems! 👀 #holipit

How did everyone get on with #WIPPIT & #HoliPit pitches this weekend? Good community support? Any industry likes?

I made some new friends at #HoliPit so I thought I'd introduce myself! 👋
I'm Taylor, a writer and software engineer in "sunny" Seattle, WA.
I write #sf and #speculative #YA about smart girls who do stupid things.
I also play the cello 🎻 and talk way too much about video games (mostly Persona).
I was fully planning on doing #holipit yesterday, but I ended up grading 45 Great Gatsby papers yesterday instead
A big thank you to all who supported me during both #HoliPit & #Cheerpit 🤗
I used to worry about not getting as many ❤️/reposts as others & my pitches getting buried, but the fact is I still got the occasional agent ❤️ so this is just to say (and a reminder to me! 🤪) that numbers aren't everything. 💖
I just wanted to thank this wonderful writing community for such a warm and kind welcome! This was my first attempt at any pitch event, and the enthusiasm from #WIPIT and #Holipit has been truly wonderful—and very surreal! Thank you for making me feel very warm and fuzzy! 🥰
Thank you so much for all the interest shown in my little books during #HoliPit yesterday. It means so much to me that people actually care about what I’m writing. I’m so glad I came on this platform to share and have fun with fellow writers and readers. ☺️
#writingcommunity
Again, thank you all so much for all the love for my #HoliPit pitches yesterday! I had to make a giant pot of pasta salad for work's potluck today in between checking things over here. Plus, my kid didn't want to sleep yesterday. I'm moved and I hope I can get these books to you one day.

#Holipit #A #Q #R
We've been at each other's throats for the last year, but I (24F) signed a sex contract with my ex's lifelong BFF (25M). My ex will ruin our lives if he finds out, but I think I'm catching feelings despite the fact his BFF still hates me and is definitely hiding something. AITA?
Thank you for a great first #HoliPit event @holipit.bsky.social! A lot of great pitches and support today!
The final pitch event of the year, for Short Fiction only, is #ShortPit coming up on Dec 18th!
On December 30th, our #BluePit pre-event content will begin, and then #BluePit on Jan 13th!
Damn I missed #holipit because I was editing the #Krampus smut I was gonna promote for #holipit. #writingcommunity
BROS, in the PNW
When local actor Brandon & baseball coach Xander meet outside of Brandon's work, they hit the chemistry out of the park. Is some summer lovin' enough to make Xander hopelessly devoted before he moves annoyingly far away from Victoria?
