ANGRY ROBOT’S OPEN SUBMISSION

Literary, , , , , , ,

Angry Robot Banner

Do you write adult science fiction or fantasy? Then I want to make you aware Angry Robots is taking open submissions! The window closes January 31, 2016 so don’t delay. This publishing company pays a professional advance and will allow you to obtain an agent (if you haven’t already) to work the deal if they are interested in your work.

For all the information and guidelines, go here! And if you don’t write, perhaps you’ll find a good book to read.

As always, good luck!

#PITMAD, hosted by @Brenda Drake

Literary, , , , , , , , , ,

Don’t forget the quarterly pitch event with Brenda Drake is coming up this Thursday, December 4, 2014 on twitter under the hashtag #PitMad. If you are new to the game of writing, this is where you create a 140 character pitch for your FINISHED manuscript and tweet for agents to read. Things to remember:

  • Pitch submission time is 8am-8pm EDT (New York time)
  • You must fit the hashtag of #Pitmad within the 140 characters.
  • Include the category and genre in the 140 characters.
  • Change tweets up. (Twitter will remove identical ones thinking they are spam.)
  • DON’T FAVORITE TWEETS! This is for agents only. (If you want to support a friend, do it by retweeting.)
  • If you won’t be available this day, schedule tweets using Tweetdeck.
  • Only tweet once per thirty minutes so you don’t hog congest the feed.
  • Don’t tweet agents and editors directly unless they tweet you first.
  • Scammers can’t be controlled on an open pitch party. DO YOUR HOMEWORK before you submit from a favorite.
