Website Instructions

Savvy Authors offers several different methods for pitching your book to acquiring editors and agents:

Blog Pitch Contests
Contest rules and instructions are posted on the Front Page as an article on the date the contest is to be held. Members may leave a contest entry as a comment to this post, and the editor/agent will review all posts and post winners at their discretion.

Winners typically are requested to submit a full manuscript of their entry to the acquiring editor/agent. Yay!

Pitch Appointments
Savvy Authors brings in editors and agents who agree to "listen" to members' pitches in our chat room. Each appointment lasts ten minutes in which the member and the editor/agent are in a private chat room. At the end of the ten minutes, if the acquiring editor or agent is interested in reading your manuscript a request to send a partial or full will be offered immediately.
