We're getting closer and closer to #PitchDis 2025! We have a lot going for the next 31 days, so I made a list of all the important dates to remember.

21 Days of #PitchDis starts tomorrow! A few notes: -Since I can't schedule posts on Bluesky, the prompts probably won't appear at the exact same time every day. -Make sure to use the #PitchDis hashtag when answering the prompts so others may find you, and make sure to search the tag to find others!

this is so wonderfully weird, give her all the golds 🥇

Don't forget - the #PitchDis Practice Form opens one week from today. You'll have three days to check it out and see what information you'll need for the main event. The link will be posted on here, Twitter, and Instagram.

Important notice from our friends at #DVpit.

Mark your calendars for August 21-23 for the #PitchDis practice run! The pitch form will be open those 3 days for you to practice submitting during the event. Remember - this is just for practice. Only pitches submitted September 9-11 will be posted for agents and editors.
