Okay! So you've gotten a ton of reminders about what to do BEFORE sending in your #PitchDis pitch. But what about after? Well, here you go 😊

After You Hit Submit…
• Agents and editors won’t have access to pitches until September 15, so you won’t receive any requests before then. Requests will be sent out automatically as soon as they come in.
• Our mailbox will be inundated with emails, so if you email or DM please be patient for a reply.
• Do NOT send an email for any of the following reasons:
o Wanting to fix a typo in your form or change your form in any way.
o Wanting to replace one pitch form for another.
o Asking if I received your form. If you see the confirmation page, I received it.
• If you receive a request from an agent or editor
o Make sure the agency or publisher is on the registered list of participants. If not, contact me to verify either by email contactpitchdis@gmail.com, Bluesky (@pitchdis.com) or Twitter (@pitchdis).
o Research the agent or editor. If you have any doubts, feel free to reach out.
o Please follow any submission guidelines included in the request email.
• If you don’t receive a request
o Remember that the number of requests during a pitch event is not indicative of the quality of your work.
o Keep querying. Most people still find their agents that way.

Hey everyone, just a quick reminder because I think there's some confusion - #PitchDis will happen entirely on the official site and via Google form. Posting your pitch here or on Twitter won't count. You have to fill out a pitch form to enter.

as it is Sapphic September... yearly reminder that Sapphic isn't a synonym for Lesbian. Sapphic can also apply to bisexual, pansexual, etc Sapphic means a woman that loves other women, but that doesn't exclude women who are also attracted to other genders. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Whether you've participated in #PitchDis before or this is your first time, here are some reminders!

• All pitches will be posted in random order. There is absolutely no benefit to being the first person or last person to submit a pitch.
• The pitch form will automatically close on September 10 at 8pm EDT and will not reopen. Plan accordingly.
• Keep a copy of your pitch. Many agents and editors will ask that you include it when you send in your materials.
• After submitting your pitch, you will get a confirmation page with a link to a participation badge. Just click on the link and right-click save.
• You’re not obligated to send materials to anyone. The request system is automated, so I can’t screen requests when they come in. If you receive a request from an agent or editor you don’t want to work with for any reason, simply ignore it.
• #PitchDis is not responsible for agent and editor feedback or lack thereof. Every agent and editor has their own guidelines and system in place. Please check the agent or editor’s social media or site if you have any specific questions.
• Make sure your email is correct. The request system is automated, so if you have a typo in your email you won’t receive any requests that may have been made.
• #PitchDis reserves the right to delete pitches for any reason, including but not limited to
o Pitching more than two projects, or more than once for the same project
o Abusing the “Other” options by including irrelevant hashtags
o Offensive, harmful, or abusive language
o Being disrespectful to agents, editors, fellow participants, or the event host
• Requests will only come from our official email, contactpitchdis@gmail.com. If you get an email saying you have a request and it’s not the address listed above, please contact me immediately.

Indie Book Spotlight @bookspotlight.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Never. I feel a deep sadness for those who have forfeited their critical thinking skills & given up on learning & bettering themselves. I also feel a deep sense of betrayal from those who clearly don’t care that artists & authors were stolen from, and that AI is draining water at a ridiculous rate.
