#PITMAD

Hi guys,

 

I just entered #PitMad for the very first time on September the 5th.

 

It’s one day on Twitter where you may pitch your manuscript three times in 12 hours. People from the industry look at the timeline to see if they like any new books to sign.

 

I sadly didn’t get any hearts, that means no agents/publishers liked my pitches, but I did get some love from the writing community so that made a whole lot of difference and the not getting hearts easier to bear. My pitches got retweeted, 4 times, 7 times and the favorite one 29 times! That means other writers liked that particular pitch. That was so nice! I made some new Twitter writer friends and it taught me that not my favorite pitch was the public’s favorite pitch. One lives, one learns, right?

 

I’ll insert my pitches here. If you have any better ideas for the next round, better phrasing, wording, anything, please feel free to comment, it’s extremely hard to condense a 550-page book into 280 characters!

 

So, here the veil is lifted somewhat about what my book is about (in three different manners);

A rebellious flower child who wants nothing more than to be truly loved must escape her jealous, rivalrous mother who has cruelly imprisoned her to find the one she can’t live without while keeping his existence a secret. #PitMad #A #MEM #NF #PR #P

With the help of talking animals and friendly spirits, a quirky, clairvoyant girl must escape her evil mother who viciously holds her captive to meet the love foretold before the prophesied moment of lover’s meeting has passed. #PitMad #A #MEM #NF #PR #P #INSP
