Upcoming Twitter Pitch Parties After #PitMad, #SFFPit, #PitchMas: #Pit2Pub and #WritePit
It's Christmas time and what else? It's Twitter Pitch Party Season, folks!
Twitter Pitch Parties are for writers to tweet a 140-character pitch for their completed and polished manuscript(s) directly to publishers OR agents. If your 140-character pitch is favorited by a publisher OR agent, you may submit your manuscript by following their submission guidelines.
How can I participate?
All you need is to jump onto Twitter the days of a Party and post your pitch! When writing your 140-character pitch, make sure to leave enough room to include #Party Hashtag, #Age and #Genre in the tweet.
How do I know if a publisher OR agent is interested in my manuscript?
Publishers and agents will favorite your tweet if they wish to see more. If you receive a favorite (heart), follow their submission directions on their website or look for them on the hosting website. #element-6eda0f36-5f7a-442c-851b-462f469ae546 .border-box { -moz-box-sizing: border-box;

Upcoming Twitter Pitch Parties After #PitMad and #SFFPit: #PitchMas #Pit2Pub #WritePit
It's Christmas time and what else? It's Twitter Pitch Party Season, folks!
Twitter Pitch Parties are for writers to tweet a 140-character pitch for their completed and polished manuscript(s) directly to publishers OR agents. If your 140-character pitch is favorited by a publisher OR agent, you may submit your manuscript by following their submission guidelines.
How can I participate?
All you need is to jump onto Twitter the days of a Party and post your pitch! When writing your 140-character pitch, make sure to leave enough room to include #Party Hashtag, #Age and #Genre in the tweet.
How do I know if a publisher OR agent is interested in my manuscript?
Publishers and agents will favorite your tweet if they wish to see more. If you receive a favorite (heart), follow their submission directions on their website or look for them on the hosting website. #element-6eda0f36-5f7a-442c-851b-462f469ae546 .border-box { -moz-box-sizing: border-box;

Twitter Pitch Parties are for writers to tweet a 140-character pitch for their completed and polished manuscript(s) directly to publishers OR agents. If your 140-character pitch is favorited by a publisher OR agent, you may submit your manuscript by following their submission guidelines.
How can I participate?
All you need is to jump onto Twitter the days of a Party and post your pitch! When writing your 140-character pitch, make sure to leave enough room to include #Party Hashtag, #Age and #Genre in the tweet.
How do I know if a publisher OR agent is interested in my manuscript?
Publishers and agents will favorite your tweet if they wish to see more. If you receive a favorite (heart), follow their submission directions on their website or look for them on the hosting website. #element-6eda0f36-5f7a-442c-851b-462f469ae546 .border-box { -moz-box-sizing: border-box;

Twitter Pitch Parties are for writers to tweet a 140-character pitch for their completed and polished manuscript(s) directly to publishers OR agents. If your 140-character pitch is favorited by a publisher OR agent, you may submit your manuscript by following their submission guidelines.
How can I participate?
All you need is to jump onto Twitter the days of a Party and post your pitch! When writing your 140-character pitch, make sure to leave enough room to include #Party Hashtag, #Age and #Genre in the tweet.
How do I know if a publisher OR agent is interested in my manuscript?
Publishers and agents will favorite your tweet if they wish to see more. If you receive a favorite (heart), follow their submission directions on their website or look for them on the hosting website. #element-6eda0f36-5f7a-442c-851b-462f469ae546 .border-box { -moz-box-sizing: border-box;

Synopsis:Zoe Jabril could be just another 17-year-old girl attending parties with her friends and checking out cute guys—except her best friend is a Guardian Angel, and the boy she crushes on is a Nephilim, half-angel, both sent to Earth to protect her. A high school classmate happens to be a trendsetting shopaholic fairy. And now there’s a new werewolf in town.
Zoe has to deal with her feelings toward Shay, who spreads a strange electrical current through her body every time he touches her. Now Zoe is under constant attack from demons, trying to kill and stop her from fulfilling the Prophecy: a girl will be born who will unite the Enlightens to battle evil. Then on top of that, between boring homework and drama with girls at school, she has to control new found talents if she’s to prevent the devil from escaping Hell.
In order to do so, Zoe must devise a kick-ass plan ASAP or watch everyone die, because she’s running out of time. She turns eighteen in two months—the date Armageddon kicks off.
