Planning Another Pitchfest is over--what happens now?

[Leslie]

Thank you to all the participants for a great pitchfest! And to all the wonderful Agents, Editors, and Publishers who spend time reading the pitches!
Our next steps are pretty simple:

1. The Agents, Editors, and Publishers complete their review of the pitches. They may still ask questions about your pitch so do keep an eye on your pitches. I explained how to do that in the How do I know I got a request post.
2. The Agents, Editors, and Publishers will send us their final list within 1-2 weeks.
3. We publish that on the site, right here on the main feed, and notify everyone in the SavvyAuthors Weekly News.
4. We remove from public view all the pitches

If you have not registered yet for our February 2023 Sweetheart Pitchfest, definitely do that! We run these twice a year!

Thanks for organising - this was great and has already been an informative experience.

Thank you for organizing this Leslie! Just the experience alone was fantastic for nailing down an elevator pitch, which IMO is so difficult to come up with.

Thank you Leslie and everyone at Savvy Authors for putting this Pitchfest together. Thanks too, to all the agents, editors and publishers. I had a great time pitching.

I am brand spanking new to the group and so happy I found out about SavvyAuthors and Fall Pitchfest and the free opportunity to pitch my manuscript! Thank you, Leslie for setting it up, your helpful instructions on how it all works and everything!

Thanks for the information. It’s my first round of pitch events and I loved it. It was all so calm and reassuring. It was very encouraging. Thanks so much for that!

I have been watching, but as of yet have not seen where the pitchfest requests have been posted. Have I missed it?

Hi Tammie
It's usually 1-2 weeks before we get the full list back from the agents and editors. We should have the full list to publish on the site in the next few days.
Thanks for asking!
