It's nearly time for the 2024 "Twitter Pitch" as well as he 2024 "A to Z Blogging Challenge". If you're interested in either:
#IWSGPit Twitter Party
The next #IWSGPit will be March 27, 2024.
10:00 am - 8:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
Create a Twitter-length pitch for your completed and polished manuscript and leave room for genre, age, and the hashtag. On Wednesday, March 27, 2024, Tweet your pitch using #IWSGPit. If your pitch receives a favorite/heart from a publisher/agent check their submission guidelines and send your requested query.
Many writers have seen their books published from a Twitter pitch - it’s a quick and easy way to put your manuscript in front of publishers and agents.
For hashtags and guidelines, visit our #IWSGPit page.
Do authors really find agents and publishers through a Twitter pitch party? Yes they do! Dancing Lemur Press, L.L.C. has found FIVE authors from this event, including one of our best sellers, Damien Larkin.
So, get your pitches ready for March!

The Twitter pitch contest is a great opportunity for writers who are ready to query. I've never done the A-Z challenge. It's too much of a commitment for me.
Little over a week away for the pitch and then we slide into the Challenge.
I did not know the Twitter Pitch was still going on. I'm not there this year but maybe next year.
I check in on twitter about once a week to see how the crazies are doing. I say that in that there is a feed of people I follow and then a "curated?" list that is titled For You. It gets a little wild. I have blocked some of the wilder elements. But I am not kidding about the crazies. Now what does that say that X gives me a list of all that? lol
I've never participated in a Twitter Pitch but have done the A to Z Challenge for several years. I've been considering it this year but haven't decided yet.
