#Pitmad March 2016: What Agents Requested

Pitmad Agent Requests 2016
Twitter Pitch Contests like Brenda Drake's #Pitmad can be a ton of fun. They're a great way to meet others in the writing community, nail down a succinct and catchy pitch for your novel, and potentially to get agent requests to see your work!


We all know that crafting an attention-grabbing pitch in under 140 characters can be HARD. In past years I've done a round-up of the #Pitmad twitter pitches that got requests, and I thought it might be fun, and hopefully informative, to do it again! This may be my last roundup though, unless ya'll talk me into it again, 'cause ngl ... it's pretty time-consuming.

So what caught agents' attention this year? Read on to find out! And stay tuned for a second post with more analysis! :)

March 2016 #PitMad Requested Pitches

  • Young Adult      (213 novels requested) 
  • New Adult         (17 novels requested)
  • Adult                  (147 novels requested)
  • Middle Grade   (61 novels requested)
  • Picture Books   (15 books requested)
  • Non-Fiction
    & Memoir          (6 books requested)

  • Total = 459 manuscripts got requests!!

**Note: Apologies in advance for sketchy formatting and any omissions. I tried my best to gather the majority of pitches that received agent favorites here, but I'm sure I missed some!
didn't attempt to compile faves from editors & small presses, so in reality, the number of requested pitches is even higher!


(Other sidenote: I also didn't compile requests from a couple known *schmagents* I noticed on the thread. Be very careful to research who you're subbing to before you send out requested material! Check them on Preditors and Editors, and threads on the QueryTracker and Absolute Write forums. I won't name names here, but you can DM me on Twitter if you really want to know.) 

Without further ado ... the list of "winning"pitches:

Congrats everyone!!!
