#PitMad Crazy

Today on Twitter, I participated in #PitMad. We got to Tweet our pitches for our various novels in hopes to attract the eye of editors and agents. It was a blast, although it was also a lot of work. I'm thankful I prepared my pitches in advance, although I did a little tweaking (yes, TWEAKING...not twerking) through the day.

I thought this would be a prime spot to share my collection of pitches.

Pitching 70,000-95,000 word novels in 140 characters is no easy task. I applaud all my fellow writers who submitted their PitMad Tweets today. I don't know what will come of it, if anything, but it sure was great practice. And I can't wait until the next one. I have some works in progress that I know will capture some attention.

I just need to finish them!

Best wishes to all participants! May you receive many requests!

And thank you to the agents, editors, and organizers who made #PitMad possible. We applaud you!
