And now I'm off to check the edits of a (very) short story I just sold.
Once the contract is signed and it is online, I'll let y'all know where you can read it.
Small successes like this can keep you going!

Hey #BluePitHype!
So, I've done a few different images for my Pan story (called Forever is a Very Long Time, or FiaVLT). Picrew icons for most characters, a mood board, a creepy silhouette doodle of Pan & a faux movie poster for the #PosterPit event.
I'm also working on a map of Neverland, but

1) Make sure your alt text actually describes the visual and text aspects of your graphic. All your text should be in the alt text. "Moodboard for MC" admittedly gives nothing
2) Save all your alt text in a dedicated file so you can save time later when reposting or editing the image

I sadly have no character/story art, but I love looking at others’ art!
That said, I’m not a fan of moodboards or agent guides being substituted (or supplemented) for good old-fashioned pitches during pitch events. That’s just me, & it seems I’m in the minority

Goodness... That's the part I hate THE MOST.
Your query needs to be enticing—it's EXACTLY what would go in the back of your book, but the synopsis needs to be straightforward, no stirring imaginations there.
As for promoting, I'm just REALLY LOUD about it.

I'm a huge football fan so ironically i've had football to distract me while i query 🤣 though i have also used the time to read more which has helped me shift focus to other projects. Querying is hard, pitching is hard but finding moments of peace with a book has helped so much.

My best advice is to read up on pitch structure (there's lots of online resources), then workshop it with other, more experienced writers (and editors if possible). Keep it short, snappy and hooky. I'm happy to read a few if anyone needs it?

I find that useful pitching advice, too.
Make sure to pin your pitch, and the main fun of these events is interaction!

Elevator pitchs should be as short as possible while hitting all the highlights. DON’T BURY THE LEAD. Also, try your best to relate it to something the person you’re pitching can understand instantly. I used to pitch my stage persona as ‘Bathory as an insult comic cum showgirl’ #BluePitHype

You know what your plot setup is. Tease it like a 90s movie trailer! "In a world..." etc (don't say "in a world" 😆 unless you mean it)
How does your inciting incident complicate the MCs life? Where are they heading that will make the climax so tense?
What's your movie poster tagline?

The best advice I learnt when writing my query letter is to take out phrases like 'they find themselves...' in your blurb because it sounds like the plot finds your protagonist instead of the other way around. Give your protagonist agency! 🤗

Pitching & querying =/= writing a book. Don't worry too much about it: your sample pages will matter the most.
Agent likes can help build a list for querying, but they don't automatically convert to requests or even offers. (But the likes sure feel nice!)

The final day of #BluePitHype! Tomorrow is #BluePit!
Who else is pitching tomorrow? I'd be happy to swap support!
As it's my event, I'm going to be reposting like crazy, so a tip for my friends who don't participate: You can mute a hashtag for 24 hours.

I'm pretty bad at these events, and social media in general. But I always reciprocate likes/reposts, and I'm going to try to browse a bit in my downtime. Can't wait to see all the cool ideas out there! 🖤
