New article on the #SmallPitch blog showcasing some successful pitches! Hopefully they can inspire querying writers working on their own pitches.
2nd #SmallPitch request.
That's promising.
I should really be asleep but my #SmallPitch request just turned into a full manuscript request ♥️
#writingcommunity #amquerying
No #SmallPitch request for poor old me.
😢
(Goes back to the writing mines.)
Sent in query that was requested from #SmallPitch event. Wish me luck!!!
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!
Got a request from #Smallpitch!
Very excited to see what comes of it. Maybe 2026 is my year!
#smallpitch result! We requested 8 fulls, and have received four submissions (so far). Thanks @smallpitch.org for a thoroughly enjoyable event! Now the work begins!
Got a #SmallPitch request!! Very exciting
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.
I just got a request from #smallpitch press who I've had my eye on!!!! Immediately sent that information over, now time to brave the grocery store before this storm hits!
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.
Anyone had any luck with #SmallPitch? Dang, I put all my three projects and nothing...
The #SmallPitch request window is now OPEN! (Yes, a bit early. We're getting better and faster at checking submissions!)
Remember, the requests will come from smallpitchteam@gmail.com. Whitelist our address and/or check your spam folder!
Good luck everyone 🤞

Title: Northern Flicker Comps: WINTER'S ORBIT x SOME DESPERATE GLORY Tagline: a ship only lives as long as its heart A crisis leaves ex-pirate Sol without a ship, so he steals and bonds with one to keep his crew together. This puts him on a collision course with Ambrose, a reluctant soldier who discovers the theft as his home is invaded. Pressed into service by invaders, they struggle to survive as their feelings for each other grow Tags: Novel, science fiction, LGBTQIA+ Writers
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 😂
#amquerying #writingcommunity
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 😊
