Hello, everyone!
Just today there was another #Pitmad on Twitter. For those who do not have a Twitter account and/or do not participate in it, #Pitmad is where you pitch your novel in 140 characters or less, using the hashtag #Pitmad (have I said #Pitmad enough yet? ). If agents like what you pitch, they will then request (either through "Favorite"-ing your Tweet or even replying to it) that you submit a query and 'x' number of pages to them.
This got me thinking...
I did a search for #Pitmad here on AW, and all I saw were passing mentions to it; there weren't really any full threads devoted to the topic. I also know that if writing a query makes heads itch, then condensing one's query into 140 characters is not in any way an easy feat. I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread for authors to share their #Pitmad Tweets, in preparation for the next #Pitmad (dunno when that will be, but it's good to be prepared). Knowing how great a resource the "Post Your Opening 3 Sentences" thread is, I guessed having a #Pitmad thread would be a useful resource.
If a mod wants to move this thread at any point, you'll hear no complaints from me.
Good luck, everyone, and have fun!
