10 #pitmad tips for tomorrow!:
1) Post your fave pitch between 8-8:30. But never on the dot. Pin it immediately to your profile.
2) NEVER end your pitch with a question
3) I found most agent "likes" dropped off after lunch, so I made my best pitches my first pitches.

4) To gain traction, RT other writers& #39; pitches so they RT yours. Not too quickly, though, or Twitter will lock you out. (From experience lol)
5) Your pitch must include 4 things. Your MC, her conflict, what she must do to resolve the conflict, and what she stands to lose.

6) Use description over nouns. Instead of âshe meets a man named Joe,â try, âshe meets a biker with a sneer.â We donât need to know names. Not even your main characterâs, so long as you describe him! Instead of 18yo Jaxon, I wrote, âAn 18yo asexual assassinâ
7) Put your comparison titles at the top in ALL CAPS (ex: GILDED WOLVES x NATIONAL TREASURE)
8) When in doubt, use this formula: âWhen THIS happens to MAIN CHARACTER, she must do THIS to stop it, or she risks losing THIS.â
9) Plan to be actively RT& #39;ing in the MORNING (8-11am!)

10) Donât use too many hashtags! You may look confused about where your book will fit in the market. Include your category and 1-2 genres. Ex: #YA #F #R for Young Adult Fantasy Romance

My success pitch (excluding comps):
When 18yo archenemies Jonah and Dylan wake up in 1 bed, ass-naked & very afraid, they have 3 objectives. 1) Fake-date until the gossip dies. 2) Avoid each otherâs emotional baggage. 3)
Don& #39;t f*cking kill each other.

Wishing you all the best of luck tomorrow! :) And to anyone not participating, remember to NOT "like" or "heart" any pitches. Those are only for agents!
