This. It's honestly timing. I was previously repped, had a few years of nothing, then saw #QueerPit so I tossed in a pitch on a whim, and got a same day, next day, and 3-day offer. That's not normal, but it happened. I only knew one of the three offering agents.

🍉 #QueerPit UPDATE🍉 It was recently brought to our attention that WIX, the domain we used to build our website, is Israeli-owned and the company has previously fired an employee for speaking up in support of Palestine. We will be taking down our website. cont. 🇵🇸

@MiaSiegert @QueerPitContest @AndreaMariana89 @JKlekamp I’m so glad #queerpit popped up in my timeline!!!! @MiaSiegert and @JKlekamp stories need to be out in the world!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Thank you!

@MiaSiegert @QueerPitContest @AndreaMariana89 @writeloudly Yes! Thank you. I didn’t know it was happening either. But when #QueerPit appeared in my timeline, I gave it a try. @writeloudly recognized my premise from a critique session. And now look at us!

@QueerPitContest So proud to be part of this class. Thank you #QueerPit. And good luck to all of us.

Also I have to laugh (in a VERY doting way) because when I talked with @JKlekamp (reference), he didn't know I was the other author who was signed from #queerpit until I admitted it. FYI authors, an agent signing another author does NOT affect odds. It's honestly timing.

#QueerPit was awesome. Because of it, I got a same day, next day, and three-day offer. :) (Also yes, I know this is extremely unusual. I've been agented before, I've had books out, I know I'm very, very fortunate, I'm not taking it for granted at all).

🏳️‍🌈3 AUTHORS FOUND REP THROUGH #QueerPit SO FAR!🏳️‍🌈 If you are one of the wonderful writers who found rep through our event, but whose story has not yet been featured on our website, we'd love to hear from you! Read their success stories: queerpitcontest.wixsite.com/queerpit/succe…

@MagicalHippo Something similar happened to me - I got 2 agent likes in #QueerPit but never heard back from one of them after submitting. 😔 Even after I notified them I had an offer. Just 👻

Authors who didn't get agent likes in #QueerPit this summer - don't sweat it. I STILL haven't heard back from the agents who liked my pitch, so I'm just gonna assume they weren't interested after all. Isn't querying fun?

@JenNewens you liked my #queerpit in August, and I was wondering if you'd still like a query. If so, how should I go about getting that to you?

That was the encouragement I needed to start sending out queries again. Slowly, I worked my way up to 60 queries, then 70. I did a pitch party in early August (#QueerPit) and got two agent likes. Neither of them turned into anything but it was exciting for a moment.

Happy trans awareness week from the #QueerPit team!!
