Heeeeyyyy! Long time, no tweet. 👋 Just wanted to pop in and announce our 2023 #APIPit date. Make sure to mark your calendars! 📆 #amquerying #writingcommunity

With deep regret, we're announcing that APIPit will be on hiatus from 2024 onwards. Because Twitter has grown far from ideal for pitch events with the bots stealing pitches and messy algorithm, we have decided it is best to pause APIPit until we've found a better alternative.

It is just after 8 PM EDT now, so it's a wrap! 🥳 Thank you to all who participated in #APIPit this year. Remember, creators: if an agent or editor requested, you can submit to them *on your own timeline.* Huge shoutout to our co-founders to making this happen! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
