Forgive me, I meant to post this three days ago but, well, I forgot 😂 So just do me a favor and pretend I posted this on July 9, okay? *ahem* Only 2 months until #PitchDis!!!

For those that pitched for #SmallPitch and were feeling anxious

About half of the #SmallPitch participating publishers haven't sent any request yet. The request window is still open until tomorrow night. There's still time for you to receive a request if you haven't had one yet.

Went thru #smallpitch database & requested 6 manuscripts! Keep your eyes peeled 👀 Also in the coming weeks: - review 15 remaining open subs - review about 5 remaining off-piste requested subs from various authors - review agent subs p.s. now closed to agents until September!

Hello to all the new people finding Q&C from #SmallPitch! We've sorted through all the, frankly, amazing pitches and sent out our requests. We look forward to reading your submissions and should get back to everyone within 90 days. Best of luck everyone!
