I’ll be joining local authors Julie Doar and Jode Millman at Pleasant Valley Free Library for the special event, “Hudson Valley Women of Mystery”! Come join the discussion at noon. I’ll be chatting about my soon-to-release MAYBE YOU LIED and sharing writing tips.

New article on the #SmallPitch blog showcasing some successful pitches! Hopefully they can inspire querying writers working on their own pitches.

@mjvalentour We've got a list! I need to update it, and being on this list isn't an endorsement, but it's a great place to start: https://t.co/ron25DZrfO

[#SmallPitch @Small_Pitch]

@mjvalentour That's the spirit! Also indie/small presses and lit agents aren't opposite. I (Millie) have an agent and we sold 2 of my books to indie presses. Some manuscripts are better suited for big 5 and others for indies. It's all about finding the best path for you and the book.

[Watchful Wizard Publishing @WatchfulWizardP]

Finally done! This was an incredible #smallpitch event. Every author should be proud of their hard work.

We are looking forward to the next round of queries.

[#SmallPitch @Small_Pitch]

Thanks everyone for another great #SmallPitch! Good luck with your submissions, should they be from a request or not. We're rooting for you!

[#SmallPitch @Small_Pitch]

The #SmallPitch request window is now OVER.

- If you received a request: congrats! Don't forget to research the publisher. A request isn't a summon.
- If you didn't receive one: no luck this time, but we'll be back in July, and cold submissions are still here in the meantime.

[#SmallPitch @Small_Pitch]

@SydnyeWhite @mjvalentour I'm wondering, too. Requests are coming, so I was expecting people to shout about them here and on Bsky, but it's been quiet. I haven't compared numbers yet with our last events, but perhaps we have fewer requests, or people aren't posting as much about it for reasons 🤔

[#SmallPitch @Small_Pitch]

@mjvalentour ~10 presses haven't submitted any requests at all! Hopefully they'll come in tonight and tomorrow.

[#SmallPitch @Small_Pitch]

@qmconnwrites We'll be back in July!

[Not A Pipe Publishing Ink-Corporated LLC @NotAPipePub]

We're halfway through reading the manuscripts on offer through @Small_Pitch, and there are so many intriguing ones! We're having to winnow down our list, so if you get a request from us, know that you really stood out from a great pack!

@RyerseSandy No, the request window closes on Sunday at 11:59 pm EST.

[#SmallPitch @Small_Pitch]

The #SmallPitch request window is now OPEN! (Yes, a bit early. We're getting better and faster at checking submissions!)

Remember, the requests will come from [email protected]. Whitelist our address and/or check your spam folder!

Good luck everyone 🤞

@AuthorJannyB This is the request window for publishers to browse submitted pitches. The window to submit pitches as an author was Monday/Tuesday.
