Today, I'm participating in #PitMad on Twitter. #PitMad is an event for writers to pitch their completed novels in 140 characters. If it snags an agent's interest, they'll favorite it and the writer sends over their query, synopsis, sample pages, etc. I was skeptical at first, but after reading more about it on Brenda Drake's website, and reading through some of the success stories, I figured I'd give it a shot. I got my first favorite about five minutes ago and nearly fell out of my chair. I immediately researched the literary agency and sent over my query and first 50 pages.
I'm truly impressed by the Twitterverse and how supportive those participating in #PitMad are, including other writers. I've had my pitch retweeted more than a dozen times by aspiring authors. It's so exciting to read everyone's pitches-there are truly some good stories out there waiting to be agented and published!
#PitMad continues through 9PM EST tonight. Sending positive vibes to all the writers out there!
