For the last #PitMad, I downloaded and analyzed all of the pitches to see what works and what doesn't. 🤓

In this thread, I'll recap a lot of what I learned, so you can keep it in mind for Thursday.

Everything I'll provide will be backed up with hard data. 👍 Tags:

PitMad is VERY popular. No Agent can comb through every pitch. Instead they monitor tags.

So...USE TAGS!!

Some tags are in more demand than others. Use these threads to help you identify what tags to use.

Here's a #PitMadStats update on AGENT/INDUSTRY likes by GENRE. 🎉🤓

There are so many ways to look at this, but I chose 3.

1. I counted the tweets with the tag and with industry likes, then ranked by % of likes.
2. Same, but with agents.
3. I'll explain more when I get there. First, we have industry. I chose to rank by % so we can see how much demand there is for a genre in the industry relative to authors pitching in that genre.

While Fantasy has the most likes (by far), it's really competitive (lots of pitches) and ranks low by %. Image
