Pitchfest question

[Gabby Barone]

Hey everyone! I'm Gabby. Very appreciative of SavvyAuthors to put together Autumn Pitchfest - does anyone know what happens now that the contest is over / when agents & editors will start deciding on pitches? This is my first time participating in a contest here. Have a good Saturday, everyone!

 

[Pam Çemen]

I agree with Gabby. I appreciate Pitchfest, but wonder where and when agents and editors will comment. If they post comments, will it be as a reply to our pitch? I saw where some may not post and you will let us know in a couple of weeks.

I'm also wanting to know the answer to these questions.

Hey everyone, here's what the Pitchfest rules / info page said - I just found it: @Susan Reinhardt / @Pam Çemen

 

[Pam Çemen]

I asked in a private note to one of the Site Monkeys. I got this reply:
Many of the agents and editors will post directly on your pitches, but not all do. We ask them to have their decisions ready by our next weekly newsletter, that is next Saturday., I publish a blog post of all the requests and also post that in the Weekly news. If an agent or editor requests, they also tell you what to do next as it differs between them.
Thanks!

Hope this helps. Has anyone gotten a reply on a pitch yet?

Thanks to Pam for posting. We had some emergencies on the Savvy side and have been off-site for a bit.
Yes, we'll be posting this on the site and in the NL this upcoming weekend. We always ask the agents and editors to complete their reviews/decisions within a week.
Thanks!
