Pitchfest editor/agent responses

I pitched my books to several agents/editors and got no response. I was disappointed and then realized there weren't any responses from agents and editors to any of the pitches. Should I keep looking or do they respond via email or did they just not like anything pitched? (I wanted to read lots of the proposed books.)

Thanks.Pitchfest is always fun.

Hi, Mary. Depending on the number of pitches, it may take a week or so for them to go through and consider the merits of each one. Once they do, they'll give SavvyAuthors a list of pitches they want more info on, and once we have all their feedback, SavvyAuthors will publish the list. If your name is on there, just follow the instructions, i.e., query letter and first 50 pages, or query letter and synopsis and first three chapters, etc. At that point. you'll be dealing directly with the agent/editor.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
