If I haven't answered your stat question yet that means I'll get to it this weekend. Some of them are difficult to calculate and will take some time.

082

A couple more #PitchDis stats. -83% of the BVM entries received requests -As of now the least requested genre seems to be memoir with 10% of entries receiving requests

1121

If you have any specific #PitchDis stats you'd like to know, just let me know. I can't promise I'll be able to answer all of them but I'll try.

461

A few requested #PitchDis stats! -Only two entries were comedy -We only had one entry that was labeled both science fiction and speculative -We had five chapter books

160

#PitchDis stats time! I'll have a lot more during the week but here's a few. -698 pitches submitted -696 pitches eligible -559 people pitched -137 people submitted two projects.

0140

I THINK I may have gotten the right email for the requests to the one person who had a typo in their email. Fingers crossed!

090

I got to all the emails but I have another favor to ask. Please don't ask me to contact agents/editors, or to pass along any messages. We had 559 participants this year & truthfully, I don't have the time to be everyone's messenger. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's true.

#PitchDis recovery period update 😁 -I've replied to all the pending DMs from Twitter and Bluesky. I'll start on the email inbox shortly. -A few people got requests today 😊

2134

Good morning, everyone! I have a very busy day ahead so I won't be online as much today. And just a reminder - although the #PitchDis request period is technically over, some requests may still go out. I'll try to get to some stats later on this evening!

0131

And that is it for #PitchDis 2026! It was, quite literally, the longest #PitchDis ever 😁 Thank you so much for sticking with me through the glitches and chaos. But also, thank you for sharing your work with us 💜

Okay #PitchDis pals. The official request period wraps up soon. Here's a thread of what happens next. -Don't be surprised if you receive requests after tonight. As long as agents and editors have pitches in their cart by 8, they can still send them out after.

1192

🚨ATTENTION🚨 I've gotten a huge, and I mean HUGE, influx of emails this afternoon from people asking if they received any requests. The request window is still open. I'm not going to answer any of these emails until after it closes.

Hi registered #agents and #editors! Just a reminder that since we had some technical difficulties last week we've extended the #PitchDis request period until today at 8pm EDT. Get those last-minute requests in 😊

#PitchDis morning/afternoon update. -We had some requests come in today 🎉 -I'm going to be away until this evening volunteering for another group I'm involved with, so I may not update tonight unless we have more requests go out. Have a good Sunday!

#PitchDis this post is for you!! My plan had been to read your queries this weekend and this coming week but alas... Murphy's Law has struck again and an old pipe has done what old pipes do 🚿🚱 Therefore, I will not be reading queries as quickly as I had hoped.👇🏽

Long overdue #PitchDis update! -We had a handful of requests go out this morning. -I haven't gotten to most emails yet. And the reason why I didn't update sooner? I took a nice little road trip and made some new friends.

If you're an agent or editor who hasn't checked out the #PitchDis pitches yet now would be a good time. It's pretty quiet today so we shouldn't have any technical issues 😁 Also, a reminder that the request period has been extended until Monday at 8pm EDT.

0237

Just had three requests for the same person bounce back because of a typo in their email ☹️ This is why it's super important to look over your form when you submit. Please remember that for next year 💜

#PitchDis Friday afternoon update. -The bad news is I'm sick with a stomach bug and am basically useless at the moment😭 -The good news is the requests are going through as they should and I'm not having to troubleshoot today.

Good morning, everyone! We had a few more #PitchDis requests go out overnight 🎉 Remember that the request window has been extended until Monday evening.

1223

#PitchDis evening update -The last of the backlogged requests have been sent 🙌 -We had lots of new requests today, but the majority of agents and editors haven't made requests yet -I haven't had the time or energy to post stats, but I'll do that over the weekend or next week.

Heads up, everyone. If you put your name into the Book Title field and don't know which book has been requested, I unfortunately won't be able to help you. The agents and editors get full receipts with the entire pitch, but from my end I only get your title and email 🫤

080

Now that I have a little time to breathe, I just want to thank everyone who has sent in kind messages. I haven't been able to reply to most yet but I've seen them all, and you have no idea how much they're appreciated 💜💜💜

I've started releasing a few of the backlogged #PitchDis requests. I have to go slow with them, so the last of those probably won't go out until tomorrow.

Here's the #PitchDis afternoon update. -We've had new 66 requests sent out since this morning. -I'm working on the backlog we still have. Those will go out in small batches so we don't make gmail mad again. -Some requests are going to spam folders, so make sure to check there.

With everything going on yesterday I think I forgot to mention that the registered agents and editors list was updated.

Good morning, everyone. Looks like we're back on track to resume #PitchDis requests today! If you have emailed regarding questions about submissions, I won't get to those until the request window closes next week. Please refer to the agency/publisher site or social media.

0152

Okay y'all. It has been a long and busy day in #PitchDis land and I'm exhausted, but it looks like things are finally settling down. Requests will resume tomorrow, but I still can't reply to emails. Two big reminders...
