List of Twitter pitch events 2023: July–December

Looking for Twitter pitch events in 2024? New post up now!

Last updated: 7 November 2023

Hello! Welcome to this list of Twitter pitch events coming up in the second half of 2023.

Pitch events (also called pitch contests or pitch parties) are usually one-day events on Twitter during which writers use a particular hashtag to get eyes on their manuscript pitches. This is often in the hope of grabbing the attention of agents and publishers, but there are also events for finding beta readers or simply for authors to cheer each other on.

With Twitter being in a turbulent state at the moment, there is uncertainty around the future of pitch events on the platform—however, there's still plenty going on! The list below gathers all the information I could find about what is happening, and when, for the rest of 2023.

If you're planning to take part in any of these events, please double-check the details beforehand on the organisers' social media/websites (linked below), since schedules can easily change.
