#CheerPit
A good place to start looking for inspiration is other people's pitches from previous events!

#CheerPit, #WIPPIt, and #HoliPit ran in December and #UnhingedPit ran in November (though they focus on unconventional pitches).

Going through these hashtags may help you get started. Good luck!

Agent like on a CheerPit pitch from yesterday!
🥳😬😃😅😭😱🥳

Guess that's a kick in the pants to get these last-minute revisions finalized sooner rather than later!😬😅🥳

A big thank you to all who supported me during both #HoliPit & #Cheerpit 🤗
I used to worry about not getting as many ❤️/reposts as others & my pitches getting buried, but the fact is I still got the occasional agent ❤️ so this is just to say (and a reminder to me! 🤪) that numbers aren't everything. 💖

If you’ve already queried me and are awaiting a reply, feel free to send me a nudge letting me know I liked the pitch but already have the query!

Got all my pitches scheduled for #HoliPit tomorrow! I had a great time earlier in the week at #CheerPit, and I look forward to the fun continuing!

A woman's dead. She knew secrets, pple hated her. Everyone has motive, esp those Listy luvs. She’s always tried to do the right thing but aren't some secrets best left buried? So why do they start coming out at a summer party?
Champagne, anyone?🍾🥂

Anyway, I forgot to mention on Monday that I took part in a pitch event called CheerPit. It was a holiday related book pitch thingy on 🐦. It went as well as usual, a lot of views, no agent likes. Now I'm working on another upcoming book pitch on Saturday called WIPPIT.

Question for the #writingcommunity: I saw tons of people with amazing mood boards/agent guides for #cheerpit. With #wippit coming up I want to do the same but am wondering how people do it?

#cheerpit was so much fun!

I didn’t build a list this time because I wasn’t sure if I’d join in, but when I saw posts appearing, I didn’t want to miss out 😂

There were some REALLY fun sounding pitches, and I’m pinching myself I got agent and editor interest 🥰🥰🥰

Im so happy Cheerpit happened here! Seems like it was successful? I saw so many people posting and it brought me so much joy!

I had so much fun with #CheerPit yesterday! Such wonderful pitches.

After #cheerpit yesterday, I’d love to connect with more writers! #writingcommunity

Hi👋 I’m Caroline! I write fantasy, thriller, and horror both in adult and young adult. I love love triangles, unreliable narrators, flawed characters, pining, and unique magic systems. Respond for a follow! 💗

Congrats to everyone who participated in CheerPit yesterday. It’s great to see that the writing community lives on, even with changes in platforms.
December 10, 2024 at 2:53 PM
This is our sentiments exactly. It was an absolute delight to see all the fun holiday cheer with the pitches. @cjtruwriter.bsky.social put on an amazing pitch event with #CheerPit that we believe will be a staple for years to come. Congratulations! 🎉🎄My fav activity is singing in Christmas choirs.
A big thank you and congratulations to @cjtruwriter.bsky.social for hosting a great first #CheerPit here on BlueSky today!

The next pitch events happening this month are @wippit.bsky.social, @holipit.bsky.social, and @shortpit.bsky.social
As I wrap up #cheerpit soon here @cheerpitx.bsky.social I could’ve never imagined so many writers and industry professionals would participate in my silly little idea to spread positivity & holiday cheer. The creativity and love I’ve seen today has inspired and amazed me. Thank you so much!

#cheerPit was a helluva lot of fun, even though no industry likes, but lots of support from the #writingCommunity.

Also guess I did not make it as a finalist for #first500 but that’s ok, I’m here in Puerto Rico with my wife where it’s 88 & everyone is shoveling snow back in NY!

Events like #cheerpit are a great way to meet other #writers - yes. But it’s also a great way to connect with #litagents - you can see what agents are actively looking.👀

reading all these pitches is a lot 🤣 so if you see an agent that looks like they might be a fit go ahead an query them! ✍️ #tip

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to all who supported me and my feral MCs during #CheerPit yesterday. I had so much fun making the pitches and seeing what the #WritingCommunity is working on. This truly is such an astoundingly talented group. ❤️ Wishing you all the most luck. 🍀

I'm gradually getting sick so I missed out on CheerPit but it's been so lovely finding other writers :] I love the growing community I'm finding here on bsky!

I really like the moodboard I made for yesterday's #CheerPit Took me most of the day (instead of writing), but it was worth it.
Now, though, I'd like to stop procrastinating and make some actual progress on that novel I'm supposed to be writing. Ey, brain?
