Well, everyone, all things #PitchDis have wrapped up from my end! The pitches have been deleted from the site, the software has been tweaked for next year, and I've replied to all messages that needed a reply. Now I'm off to get some much needed rest.

One last bit of #PitchDis housekeeping for the year - all pitches will be deleted from the password-protected portion of our site by tomorrow night.

Well, I tried to post the #PitchDis wrap-up tonight but I don't think it's going to happen. Be on the lookout for it tomorrow!

Hi everyone, I'm working on the wrap up today, but I wanted to mention something here too. Please take a look at something on the #PitchDis eligibility and guidelines page. (1/5)

I'm sorry if you didn't receive a request. I'm sorry if you had a bad experience with a registered agent or editor. I'm sorry if certain genres are selling better than others. But I have no control over these things. (4/5)

I try my best to connect as many authors with as many agents and editors as possible, and I always strive to make it fun and easy for everyone involved. But there's only so much I can do. I just ask that you keep this in mind before getting upset at me or the event itself (5/5)

Hey all, @DrewWMcDowell here, It does not look like we will be doing any event this October, I apologize about the short notice. We are exploring possibly doing an event a bit later and will keep everyone updated.

Good morning, everyone. After I get some real life work done I'm going to start working on the stats you requested. Today will be the last day I'll take requests for them as I plan to have everything #PitchDis related wrapped up by Sunday.

If you have any specific #PitchDis stats you'd like to know, just let me know. I can't promise I'll be able to answer all of them but I'll try.

I THINK I may have gotten the right email for the requests to the one person who had a typo in their email. Fingers crossed!

I got to all the emails but I have another favor to ask. Please don't ask me to contact agents/editors, or to pass along any messages. We had 559 participants this year & truthfully, I don't have the time to be everyone's messenger. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's true

I also don't have any additional information beyond what was in your request. Please go to the agent/editor's site or their QueryTracker page if you need to get in touch with them, or their social media. Thanks 💜
