Guidelines for our #skypitch picturebook pitch party. 🥳
Feel free to post pitches until midnight tonight:

boringstorybook.com/skypitch/
#SKYPITCH GUIDELINES To keep it clear and simple, our 1st #skypitch event is for PICTURE BOOKS only. Bluesky has a character limit of 300, so you have to craft a tight pitch that fits the limit. Pitch each story in one Bluesky post using the #SkyPitch hashtag! (Agented authors should include the #agented hashtag.) Agents and Editors on BlueSky might read the pitches, and like the post, inviting the author to send them the manuscript in a query. Only agents and editors should like a pitch. Please reply to pitches you want to support, but refrain from hitting the heart to like the pitch unless you are inviting the author to query. To keep people's timeline free of repeat posts, we're also asking for people to refrain from reposting. This helps isolate agent interactions for the authors and filters out engagements that aren't requests. If an agent or editor does like your post, check their submission guidelines and do your research before submitting a query! DON'T just DM an agent or editor, check to see how they would like you to submit. You can pitch up to three picture books, but only pitch each one once. If you are an author/illustrator, you can attach an image to your pitch (or you can create a mood board as long as you credit the image creator. Refrain from Al images and content). You can use additional hashtags to identify your sub genre, editors and agents will look for this (#SEL= Social Emotional Learning, #NF = Nonfiction, #C= Concept, #L= Lyrical, #|= Interactive etc.). THE GOAL IS TO BUILD COMMUNITY. DO YOUR BEST TO SUPPORT YOUR FELLOW CREATIVES AND HELP PROMOTE OUR PRESENCE HERE.

I was friendly with a lot of #kidlitart illustrators on old Twitter. When it fell apart we scattered to the winds. I also met my agent thru a Twitter PitchParty.

#KidLitGN Pitch Event Q&A

Q: Why do I need a completed manuscript if the pitch is only 600 characters and one 5mb image?

A: Editors and agents are already signing up to view the pitch gallery - getting a request means sending your full manuscript/proposal!
