#SmallPitch

#SmallPitch is now officially over! Thanks everyone who participated, authors and publishers. We'll be back in January 2027. In the meantime, keep writing and polish those pitches!

Support the amazing folks at @shirakipress.com and help them publish more books! They've launched a Patreon. At the lowest tier, you can get access to their Discord, get 10% off books, and feel a sense of accomplishment for helping an indie press continue their publishing journey. How cool is that?

Interview time! Learn more about #SmallPitch and the (unhinged) minds behind your favorite pitch event 🙌

BIG thank you to @smallpitch.org for all the hard work of coordinating another round of pitch submissions this year! We really appreciate you! 💖

Had a great first day at ConGregate seeing many familiar faces, and was on a really interesting panel about the AI inflection point. Also got to read through several submissions from @smallpitch.org ! #amediting #amwriting

Getting packed today for ConGregate this weekend! I did a sample developmental edit, and sent out some requests for @smallpitch.org! I also made sourdough snickerdoodles. They're real good. #amediting #amwriting

The publisher request window is now OPEN! Publishers have until Sunday, July 19, 11:59 pm ET to submit their requests. If a publisher likes your pitch and invites you to submit, you will receive the request directly in your inbox from smallpitchteam@gmail.com.

Did you just receive an offer of publication with a small press and need help to navigate your publishing journey? Or are you a small press veteran interested in connecting with other small press authors and/or sharing your experience to help debuts? Check out our new Discord server! 👇

Since it didn't help reduce the number of bots joining our server, we've switched on member applications. Now when you join our server, you'll have to answer three simple questions to verify you're a real person. Our mods will then review and approve as soon as possible 🙂

Only one week until #SmallPitch 🌊 As a reminder, you can find guidelines & FAQ on our website, as well as the list of participating publishers and a lot more. The link is in our bio!

#SmallPitch is the 1st pitch event to focus on small presses. Goal: to help authors find a home for their work & also to promote small presses as an important actor of the publishing industry. Follow @smallpitch.org for more info. #KidLit #WriterSky

This is coming up soon, writer friends! 💖

Our next #SmallPitch event begins in two weeks! Authors, are you ready?

Scylla will be participating in #smallpitch again! Pitches are open to all unagented authors in all categories/genres - however, we will obviously only be looking for sapphic specfic! It's happening on JULY 13-19, 2026! @smallpitch.org

We're signed up for #SmallPitch again! Check out the details for submitting on their site and get your pitches ready!

I added a newsletter sign up form if you want to receive the quarterly lists of new SFFH published by small presses directly in your inbox! 👇 (This will only subscribe you to the new release lists, not to the full #SmallPitch blog!)

Reminder! Help me by filling out the form. I'm using my own knowledge of the industry + Locus Mag + being chronically online to find titles, but I can't possibly know every small publisher out there. Important: no self-pub, no mid-size, no big 5. Small press only. Thanks!
