Cover design for "The Green Team!" #PBPitch #picturebooks #green #animals #environment #kitlit #amquerying

A shocking night scene from The Green Team! #picturebooks #greenliving #gogreen #PBPitch #kidlit #amquerying

I still have a handful of manuscripts from #PBPitch that have been in my strong maybe folder--hoping to have responses for each of those authors by Friday!

@rew_erin Boo. That is rough. My last #PBPITCH heart made it almost to acquisitions. But "no". Green or or Jameson for u.

I've been so blown away by quality of manuscripts I've received after #PBpitch. I appreciate each author who has trusted me with their story. I hope that each work I can't take on gets in just the right hands! 🫶 #authorcommunity #WritingCommmunity #kidlit

@springnpaul Yep. And the rejection read this is “strictly on the subject of material, which may not be an appropriate fit for my interests.” But I know that the subject interested them because they ♥️’d them during #pbpitch. So, that only leaves my writing. ☹️

@katiemahood2 Thank you, Katie. I think what smarted the most was the double form rejection on manuscripts the agent had expressed interest in via #pbpitch. It just felt so impersonal. ☹️

I woke to two form rejections from the same agent in regards to two #pbpitch(es) that I received hearts on. ☹️

@GoGirlsGoBooks @KaleeGwar @elizabetvukovic I LOVE this acquisitions story! Can we count it as a "double" success story for #PBPitch? 🤣But I am definitely adding it to our #PBPitchSuccessBookshelf.

Some time later, #pbpitch rolls around and I see a pitch for a really fun concept: a female-centric, animal-friendly take on Old MacDonald. “Well, it’s about time!” I thought. “What a brilliant idea.” I asked to see it . . .

I have a *famously* bad memory. Like, there’s something wrong with me. Keep this in mind . . . A few years ago, Kalee pitched Miss MacDonald at #pbpitch. I loved the concept and asked to see it . . .
