#PitchThread
We’re super excited to be launching our first-ever Twitter event where non-fiction writers can pitch their ideas directly to the Thread editorial team.
We’re super excited to be launching our first-ever Twitter event where non-fiction writers can pitch their ideas directly to the Thread editorial team. If we love the sound of your pitch and want to find out more, we will get in touch with you via Twitter DM to discuss further.
So how does it work?
We will be hosting two #PitchThread days focused around specific genres. Please find below.
16th June: Memoir/ True Stories Day:
Do you have an extraordinary and unique story to tell? One that might inspire or shock people?
30th June: Self-Development:
Are you an expert in your field? Do you have a transformative idea that offers a clear solution to a universal problem?
From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. BST on Thursday 16 June 2022 and Thursday 30 June 2022, pitch your book idea to us on Twitter within 280 characters using the #PitchThread hashtag.
If we like what we see, one of our team will DM you to discuss the status of your work, so make sure your DMs are open. At this point, you may be asked to submit a detailed outline and the first three chapters or the full manuscript.
After reading your work, if we do not wish to progress further, we will offer short editorial feedback. We accept both un-agented and agented submissions and we particularly love to see submissions from underrepresented voices.
The Prize:
Our favourite pitch of the day will win a 30 minute consultation with one of our editors.
