Not sure my other comment was seen, but I was lucky enough to get a couple requests but the requestors are requiring the pitch be included in the submission and I did not copy my pitch. Is it possible to see the original pitches again? If so, how do I get to them?

If you click your icon where you get your notifications, then click your name, a menu should come up with several tabs. One is postings and that will have each of your pitches on it.
Congratulations and best of luck!

Well, I deleted my post due to this listing, assuming that the one agent I pitched to wasn't interested, but now I see that this listing may be updated so that sucks!

We don't expect many changes to the Agents posting, but the editors will definitely have more since we have not heard back from them for the final list. We try to balance getting the results out early and knowing there will be updates, with being 100% complete. Anything on this list you can trust, it came directly from the agent. We wont remove anything only add ones, so as long as you have access to this list you will know for certain if you got a request.

Thanks. I only submitted to Lynette Novak and as she had such a huge amount of pitches to get through I'm hoping I haven't deleted before her list is definitely finalised.

If we didn’t get a like or anything under our pitches is that a no from agents or editors? Or will the list you post here be where we should really look? It’s a bit confusing.

The complete list is found as the top post in this thread for the Agents and in another post on the front page of the site for the Editors and Publishers. We will post the requests that the agents and editors sent us. We will update these posts and add comments if we get any more. So far as I know, we have never had an agent or editor pull a request so this is complete list that may be updated.

Agents and editors sometimes comment on the pitches directly, but not always. That does not mean anything if they did not comment or like. This is the full list and one source of truth for this.

Thanks!

Arg! Thank you for this, there was a formatting issue that merged those two lists.
I have corrected it, but still need to find the contact information for Jared. I will update that when I do.

Check the final list, I checked it yesterday, and it turns out I got a request that wasn't listed under my pitch. I had no idea! Good luck.
