#CamCatPitMad

Hey Author! 

We are excited to announce the 2024 dates for #CamCatPitmad, a pitching event where authors use X and Threads to pitch their books to us on the calendar dates below. A heart on X or a like on Threads from one of our team members on your post means we’re inviting you to submit your manuscript to us. Be sure to review our submission guidelines before submitting!

 

#CamCatPitMad Dates:

Friday, March 1, 2024

Friday, September 6, 2024

 

 

New to #PitMad? Check out our blog post for information about the event and best practices.

**If you’re pitching to us on Threads, please make your first hashtag #CamCatPitMad. This will tag your post in the topic of #CamCatPitMad and make your post easier for us to find. Then any subsequent hashtags can be used to indicate genre or other categories.

Only posts sent between 8AM and 8PM EDT will be considered. Be sure to read through the rules and instructions below before participating. We’re looking forward to reading your pitches. Good luck!

 

Here are the rules: 

1.  Only complete, polished, and unpublished manuscripts will be considered. Also, understand that we will not accept any manuscripts that do not follow our regular submission guidelines

2.  Your pitch must fit into one post (no threads on X), and you may only pitch 3 times for each manuscript. 

3.  For hashtags, you must include #CamCatPitMad, as well as the target age group for your manuscript (either #YA for Young Adult or #A for Adult). You may also include up to three genre tags from the following list:

 

#ACD - Action and Adventure

#F - Fantasy

#FTA - Fairy Tale Retelling

#H - Horror

#HA - Humor

#HF - Historical Fiction

#MR - Magical Realism

#M - Mystery

#P - Paranormal

#R - Romance

#SF - SciFi

#SPF - Speculative Fiction

#S - Suspense 

#T - Thriller

Additional Hashtags for Diverse Authors:

#BVM = Black Voices Matter 

#DIS = Disability subject matter

#FP = Fat Positive

#IMM = Immigrant

#IRMC = Interracial/Multicultural subject matter

#LGBT = LGBTQIA+ subject matter

#MH = Mental Health subject matter

Do NOT attach photos or links. We do NOT accept poetry, erotica, children’s books, anthologies, or any previously published work. 

If you receive a heart or a like from us, that is your invitation to submit your manuscript to us.

Additional updates will be posted via our author newsletter, which you can sign up for here

If your manuscript fits these criteria and you’re hoping to become a CamCat author, we’ll see you there!
