Hey #RevPitWaiting friends! Reducing a massive manuscript down to one or two sentences is not easy! I want to share with y'all a cheat-sheet I saw from #BluePit that was INCREDIBLY helpful to me. The anatomy of a pitch:
Picture is of text. It is titled "The anatomy of a pitch"
Elements: Inciting incident, protagonist, goal/stakes, antagonist/problem, setting.
Example: The Wizard of Oz
After losing her home in a tornado / a young girl / wakes up in a magical land. / Can she find her way back to Kansas / when a witch is determined to kill her?

Picture came from @BluePit.bsky.social

Recipe for GODHUNT: One closeted trans man One vengeful forest god Two fancy lesbians Lots of baked goods A dozen dead wolves At least one religious experience Combine in a conservative oceanside town. Shake vigorously. Flambe and serve immediately. #unhingedpit #NA #H #R #LGBT #WIP #Ream
A moodboard of five images. On the upper left hand corner is a kitchen table with cookies, a rolling pin, and a plate. The caption on the image says baking because murder is wrong. In the lower left hand corner is an image of a deer with five eyes, seven antlers, and eight legs, captured on a trail camera at night. The caption says either my traiil camera glitched out or I seen something I wasn't suppose to see. In the upper right hand corner is a misty forest captioned Report: Leading cause of death still venturing beyond the pines. The middle right hand image is a headline reading Man Sort of Curious What His Last Straw is Going To Be. The image in the lower right hand corner is a pink box with black letters reading I'm not saying I'm trans but don't mess with me I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary.

Because it's easier to finish the assignment when you're pretending you're not in love with your partner and didn't sleep with her...right? #A #R #Q #UnhingedPit

a little too much bad luck leaves eleanor: 1) stranded in another time (whatever) 2) needing to outsmart powerful men (easy) 3) with waaaay too much responsibility (i could be a god) #UnhingedPit #YA #Q #F

i’d say eleanor’s approach to romance is very francesca & john from bridgerton SEASON THREE. (we don’t talk about them in season 4) #UnhingedPit #YA #F #Q

Ok, hear me out. My novel is "Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus" BUT: - Barbie has a trash reputation - She joins a cult - She eats hearts to wield magic - She lowkey falls in love with a water spirit (KEN?) YA fantasy w. horror and romance 🫀Agent's guide pinned to profile #YA #F #H #R #UnhingedPit
A messy image with lots of 90s word art depicting Barbie on a pegasus and an anatomical heart

eleanor wanted to be smarter than everyone but now she’s kind of responsible for all of time 🤷🏻‍♀️ #YA #F #UnhingedPit
