First Agent Submission...Yay?

Thanks to the most recent #PitMad, I submitted to an agent for the first time.

I was excited when my tweet got favorited. Then I researched them. My eyes about fell out of my head.

But terror aside, I hit send. I'm sure the fear will fade. #Soon.

And hey, at least I know I can write a twitter pitch.

Thanks everyone! ♥

I'm hoping it doesn't take too long. (Or I can resist the urge to constantly check my email.)

And Wampuscat, I came here first when I saw the notification.

I found their thread. Read it. Then I looked at their site, and went:

Thanks again. ♥ I have so far resisted checking my email a million times a day.

Grayworld:

#PitMad is fun. It's a different way to try and get an agent or editor's attention. I got a lovely rejection out of the first #PitMad I did. Brenda Drake runs it. The next #PitMad is Dec. 4th.

Thank you for the advice. ♥

Thanks J.B.Kantt and Cathy C. Now that some time has passed, I'm ready to do it again. Nerves be damned.

Robertt: The agent found my tweet during #PitMad. It's a twitter pitch event that last from 8:00 am EST to 8:00 pm EST. The rules are here: #PitMad

Basically on the assigned day,( the next one is Dec. 4th), you write a 140 character pitch. You need to write enough tweets for two tweets every hour and add in the hash tag #PitMad, along with the category your book falls under. (A, YA, MG, ect.)

I used Tweet Deck to schedule the tweets, that way I didn't have to sit on the computer all day. I only sat on it half the day.

I added in the genre too, but you don't have too. I got lucky, and an agent saw my tweet and favorited it.

Now I get to wait.
