Successful Pitches We know writing a good pitch is hard. You have limited space to convey a lot about your story, and sometimes it seems impossible. Our event started on Twitter, where tweets are limited to 280 chara…

New article on the #SmallPitch blog showcasing some successful pitches! Hopefully they can inspire querying writers working on their own pitches.

Keep losing power here, was up late. Woke up to 2 last minute requests from #SmallPitch for a YA & MG book

I'm elated my pitch resonated. But I need help researching this press

Any good websites or resources, please lmk. The people I used to ask all left social media

I got a pitch request from a #SmallPitch publisher 🥹

Trying my best to hedge my expectations. But even something this small feels like validation 🖤

Keep writing, you authors; keep creating, you artists!

I sent out my requested pages/queries for #SmallPitch and omg I forgot how scary it is clicking that send button! The way I was instantly sure I sent them some crazy document and not what they requested 😖

I wound up with two #SmallPitch requests in the end, which is so exciting!! I think people are hungry for queer space operas ❤️

Got a requset during the finals hours of #SmallPitch. Had already moved on but wonders never cease!

For a good while, all the way up 5 hours before the request window would close, I thought #SmallPitch was a bust this time around.

Then two(!) surprise requests for DAD BODIES 😃

Thanks everyone for another great #SmallPitch! Good luck with your submissions, should they be from a request or not. We're rooting for you!

The #SmallPitch request window is now OVER.

- If you received a request: congratulations! Don't forget to research the publisher. A request isn't a summon.
- If you didn't receive anything: no luck this time, but we'll be back in July, and open/cold submissions are still here in the meantime.

In the span of a few hours I got a #smallpitch request, a full MS request from an agent, and a rejection! Querying is wild!

So many of the @smallpitch.org submissions sound SO GOOD. Every time I think I'm done requesting, I take another scroll and choose another. What a wonderful showing! Great job, authors!

Wait...two requests from #SmallPitch presses??? Excuse me while I go hyperventilate real quick 🤣

Only 2 posts of #SmallPitch requests here on Bluesky, while there are 6 (2 overlapping) on X?

On the other hand, X still has 561 million active users, while @bsky.app (according to their counter) have 42 million.

So the ratio should be 2:26.

Not bad.

Not that I'm one of the lucky ones, mind.

Real hard to focus on writing with the world burning all around us, but hey, I did already receive a request for Recurrence from my #SmallPitch.

Small victories, I guess. I wish the state of the world made it more enjoyable.

Hope the rest of you are seeing requests too.

My submission is in for #smallpitch. We'll see where this goes! Of course, I'm only now realizing that I probably should have tagged it LGBT+ Fiction as well as science fiction 😂

Ooh #smallpitch is right! 400 characters or fewer? I can barely manage a tweet because it’s so few characters 😂
Still, one down and one to go!
Wishing everyone who is participating all the best 😊
