#SFFpit - A twitter Speed Date for SF writers

[David Steele]

Hi all. For the next day, the hashtag #SFFpit will be on twitter.
This is so that everyone gets the chance to pitch their SF / Fantasy novel in a single tweet.

If you are an author with a book that you are seeking agency representation for, now is the time to get into the mix.

If you are NOT taking part, will you please help out others by retweeting their pitches? Please don't favourite / favorite any unless you are an agent!

I would appreciate YOUR support at @parklanddavid if you could Retweet mine.
Please add your own twitter names to this thread and we will RT any that we can.

Many thanks, and good luck

David

Tweeting like a jailbird!

It's similar to #pitmad

Let us know if you do join to follow you're tweets.

@Jennifer Stone am trying to find your tweets. Which one are you?

 

[Jennifer Stone]

@jenstone4485, i'm not joining in this time, just re-tweeting to help out

 

[Nicole Wilson]

Ah! Had to step away for work and now all these tweets are up! Time to catch up

 

[Karen Gray]

#SFFpit is sooo much better than #PitMad!!

Everyone is so much more proactive with reguard to their fellow writers. It's awesome!

 

[Karen Gray]

Ok so looking at those favourites... Panda Moon Publishing has asked for book 2

Has anyone heard of Literary Wonderlust - http://www.literarywanderlust.com/ ? They also asked for book 2

On a side note etreasurespublishing just asked for all 3 books... hmmmm I need to look into these people. Not keen on electronic only.

 

[Karen Gray]

After some research I will be submitting to none of the people who favourited me. I thought Panda Moon Publishing looked pretty good, but there is little known about them and the one review I did find on a forum, was poor. The other two I felt their websites and information were vague and amateur.

Valid point here folks. Just because you 'catch a break' it doesn't mean that you in fact have 'caught a break'

'Once more into the breach, dear friends!'

 

[David Steele]

Yep.

And just because you get an invitation to submit doesn't mean you're going to get snapped up.

It was most excellent fun, though!

 

[Karen Gray]

Absolutely. I've started a tweet prep thread for getting ready for next time
