Just wanted to show everyone that pitch contests get scammers trying to scam, too! "Pitch" doesn't have any books published. Nor do I. Please be careful with anyone who sends you unsolicited messages, even if they have a verified account (as this one below does).

DM that reads:

Hey Pitch,

{Redacted} here from {Redacted} Books. We help authors grow book visibility and sales through structured marketing campaigns that deliver an average 250% ROI.

I came across your book and believe it has strong potential with the right promotion.

Open to a short call to see if our approach fits your goals?

How's everyone doing today? It's been a long week for me, so I'm relaxing with a mocha and hanging out with this handsome fella. Don't forget - next week I'm posting the annual #PitchDis wrap-up!

I wanted to show you something kind of fun. Here's how agents and editors will see pitches next week (minus the blurriness). They'll see your title, pitch, name or pen name, and the colors are age groups, genres, and the optional hashtags.

#PitchDis@pitchdis· Sep 8

Who’s ready to send in their #PitchDis entry this week?! Here are a few things to remember after you hit submit.

AFTER THE EVENT
Agents and editors won’t have access to pitches until September 16, so you won’t receive any requests before then. Requests will be sent out as they come in.
• If you receive a request:
o Make sure the agency or publisher is on the list of registered participants. If not, contact #PitchDis to verify (contactpitchdis@gmail.com, @pitchdis on Twitter, or @pitchdis.com on Bluesky).
o Research the agent/editor. If you have any doubts, feel free to reach out.
o Please follow any submission guidelines included in the request email.
• If you don’t receive a request:
o Remember that the number of requests during a pitch event is not indicative of the quality of your work.
o Keep querying – most people still connect with their agents this way.

#PitchDis@pitchdis· Sep 8
