SOOOOO through #PitchDis I got my first bite from an agent, and in that I got my first full request!!!!

Good morning, everyone.
Looks like we're back on track to resume #PitchDis requests today!
If you have emailed regarding questions about submissions, I won't get to those until the request window closes next week. Please refer to the agency/publisher site or social media.

I received several #PitchDis requests and I am so happy. But! It happened that some of these came from agencies where another agent has my full manuscript.

Okay y'all. It has been a long and busy day in #PitchDis land and I'm exhausted, but it looks like things are finally settling down. Requests will resume tomorrow, but I still can't reply to emails.

Two big reminders...

Big #PitchDis update!
149 requests were just released.
It's too complicated to explain via tweet, but just know we still have 435 requests pending from yesterday. However, the request software is working again!
The request link will reopen to agents and editors tomorrow at noon.

@keiralekseii.bsky.social Hey Keir, thank you for like my pitch during #PitchDis! Do you have a list of TW you’d recommend being listed somewhere? Thank you!

Please do something for me, #PitchDis friends.
If you have a question about getting requests from more than one agent at the same agency, please reach out to one of them, even if it's on social media.

We just had a batch of 40 #PitchDis requests go out 🙌 We're getting there, slowly but surely.

Remember, some may be duplicates. So if you get a duplicate, simply ignore/delete it.

@keiralekseii.bsky.social Hi Keir! Thank you for your request during #PitchDis! I sent you my query back in July for Joypit, and it was rejected. Would you like to see the query again? The only change is the synopsis for clarity. I wanted to make sure before submitting again.

#PitchDis afternoon update
-Agents and editors have been emailed and asked not to make requests until tomorrow.
-55 backlogged requests have come through since midnight. There are many more to go.
-I'm still unable to reply to emails on the #PitchDis account.

#PitchDis

A few more #PitchDis requests that were stuck have made it out. There are many more to go and new requests are paused until this afternoon at the earliest.

If you receive a duplicate request from the same agent or editor you can ignore it.

@keiralekseii.bsky.social thank you for liking my pitch in #PitchDis! I have an unusual submitting situation I'd love to ask you about. (Book is finished and ready to go.) May I message you?

So the #PitchDis requests are coming out, an event I like to call “Passover” since I apparently suck at pitching (and querying).

Best of luck to those who got requests. 🤞 for you all

Okay friends I think I'm going to call it a night for #PitchDis. Hopefully more backlogged request will continue to trickle in overnight and everything will be back to normal tomorrow!

Got a couple of requests from #PitchDis today! 🤞

I don't have the bandwidth to answer DMs with questions regarding submission instructions tonight, but I'll be around if you have any general questions. And hopefully, if things get settled tomorrow, we'll dig in to some #PitchDis stats.

Okay a little bit of #PitchDis news, everyone. It seems like some of the requests made this afternoon that didn't go through are starting to trickle through. Agents and editors have been asked not to make any new requests until tomorrow.

So, I am now closed to queries - but don’t worry! I’ll be dipping into #PitchDis and #DVPit later this month, and aiming to open again in November. Stay tuned!
