Wow! This was our biggest pitchfest ever! Thank you for pitching and thanks to all the pub professionals for taking pitches!
We will be posting the full list of requests here on the main discussion feed within the next two weeks. The pub pros will also be reviewing pitches and may ask you questions over the next few days. I opened the pitch threads back up for comment so you can respond to any questions asked. HOWEVER, pitches are definitely closed and I will delete any pitches that are added after my post that announces that pitches are closed.

That's it!

Oh, and I will be opening up registration for next fall's Autumn Pitchfest tonight!
Good luck and thanks for all the pitches!

Hello! I joined today following some recommendations from my writerly crew. I'm excited to learn more about Savvy Authors and its community.

Hello Everyone,

I'm new and have ventured over from twitter. Lovely to meet new friends and old on here.

Good Luck pitching today.

I am not able to pitch though I am registered for the event. There is a message that says I have insufficient privileges. Help please!

When the pitches open tomorrow at 9AM EST this is where you will pitch:
Agent Profiles and linked Pitch posts
and
Editor Profiles and linked Pitch posts

Need more information? Check out our Pitch FAQ!

And GOOD LUCK to everyone!

My 12 (nearly 13) year old wants to pitch his MG novel. Does he have to join or can I put his pitch in for him? He's working on his three line pitch and synopsis now.

How's THAT for alliteration.
Now you can see where you will be posting your amazing stories and books on Wednesday for Pitchfest
Each agent and editor has a dedicated post page and now you can see (and maybe bookmark?) your favorites.

To see them go to the Pitchfest Index for Agents or Editors and click the button at the bottom of the page that looks like this:

that will take you to the specific post where you will reply with your incredible pitch!
Good luck to everyone and let us know about all the requests!!!
Leslie

Hi Everyone,

I'm Sidd and I just finished my first novel - a paranormal thriller - and second book. Just found out about this community and look forward to some discussions and the pitch contests.

Sidd

Hi I’m new so apologies if this has been asked before.

If an agent isn’t interested in my pitch, do you think that means they wouldn’t want me to query them in the normal way at a later date?

Thanks

Hi, everyone, I'm a fantasy romance author and I just joined this community. Looking forward to upcoming pitch contests.

Hi!
Just joined and looking forward to another excellent resource!

I have written professionally for 37 years and after "retiring" three years ago, penned my first novel (yes, sometimes it takes that long to get things right). I am presently editing book #2 and am looking forward to learning from this group as I truly believe as long as we are living we are learning.

I registered and paid for the Self editing class which was supposed to begin January 10, 2022 but the confirmation email that I received gave me a link to the class but isn't allowing me access. I also don't see it in the list of classes.
I've sent 3 emails about this and this is my 2nd post.
please reach out to me. If the class has been canceled let me know and instead of requesting a refund can I enroll in another class?

I just wanted to let everyone know what we'll be covering...

• Week 1—Learning about the markets, doing the research for targeting publishers, or tips for self-publishing.
• Week 2 – Revised Beat Sheet – Act One. Introduce storyboarding
• Week 3 – Act 2-A
• Week 4 – Act 2 B
• Week 5 – Act 3
• Week 6 – Next steps, self-editing

Authors will have assignments, and will be given individual feedback after Weeks 1 and 6. Hope to see you there.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2021 Autumn Pitchfest and in particular thanks to the Agents who reviewed the 1527 stories and books pitched! Wow!

Read on for the full list of requests received. Thanks for participating and don't forget to register for the 2022 Sweetheart Pitchfest!
