#PitMatch

If, like me, you found the whole #PitMad thing a bit crazy, here's an interesting new take on the theme.

Yes, I was thinking of participating. Anyone else? I haven't done #PitMad, though I've done #SFFpit twice and find it interesting (if nothing else, it's interesting to see how everyone else pitches their books).

 

[Chase Gamwell]

I hadn't heard of this until Kitty was kind enough to post about it. If I've had enough time to edit/polish my mystery novel by then, I'll probably give it a go.

 

[Nicole Wilson]

Cool! Also, just FYI, they changed the #PitMad rules so it's not as crazy.

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Thank you, Kitty. It's come up here a few times before, @Chase Gamwell. Threads of yore. #PitMad did get too crazy, people flooding the thing, and spamming it to hell, and it started turning other writers and agents off. Useful exercise though, honing a tweet-length hook.

Now, I need a dedicated third party to do my searching for me.
