#MENAPit

Agents: •⁠ ⁠Find pitches by searching the #MENApit hashtag or scrolling our feed. We will repost pitches throughout the day to our feed (on Instagram these will show on the repost section of our grid). •⁠ ⁠⁠Like or comment on a pitch to invite a writer to query you. If you love a project but it’s not quite right for you, please repost to support these wonderful SWANA stories! Writers: •⁠ Make sure to include the #MENApit hashtag on all your pitches. We will repost your pitches so agents can find them easily. •⁠ ⁠⁠Please use all the necessary hashtags so that agents & readers know whether you are drafting, querying, agented or published. #MENApit on April 10th on twitter, instagram, and bluesky.
