#BluePit
A Storytelling Hype/Pitch Event
A BlueSky exclusive hype/pitch event designed for to uplift and encourage members of the writing, game development, TTRPG, and Comic communities. All works are welcome, regardless of the stage they are in (e.g., Drafting, Editing, Querying, On Submission, or Published in any form).
Why #BluePit?
Pitch events are a key way for to start building an online audience, finding and supporting other storytellers, and connecting with industry professionals like Literary Agents & Editors.With the recent change to Twitter's (Now 'X') Terms of Service to remove the opt-out option your content being used to train their AI algorithm, much of the creative community has begun to switch to BlueSky.As pitch events are both fun and useful for the creative industries, we have decided to host the first BlueSky exclusive event open to storytellers of all genres!
WHEN
Jan 13th 2025
12 AM - 12 AM EST
We will be hosting the inaugural event on January 13th 2025.This time has been chosen because a lot of industry professionals return from vacations and start reviewing submissions in February, so someone expresses interest in your work, you'll be in a prime position to move forward.
