Ever wonder how to get your work past the slush pile? Ever wish that editors were a little more accessible? Well, wish no more. Flatmancrooked introduces PITCH: San Francisco. Please RSVP on the Facebook page.
Here’s the idea: Flatmancrooked wants to give authors the opportunity to submit and pitch their work in-person, face-to-face with real, live editors. Details are as follows:

Date & Time: SATURDAY, Oct 17th. Sign-up begins at 1130am. PITCH starts PROMPTLY at NOON.
This event allows 50 writers two minutes to PITCH their work for potential print publication. This is a first-come, first-serve event. Be there first to ensure your opportunity to sign-up and PITCH your story.
Criteria:
Short stories: Stories that are 8k words or less will be considered for print publication in one of Flatmancrooked’s anthologies. Be prepared to present a synopsis of the story and an explanation of why you think it would be a good fit for Flatmancrooked.
Novellas: Longer stories, ranging from 8-30k words will be considered for the New Novella imprint. Be prepared to present a synopsis of the story and an explanation of why you think it would be a good fit for Flatmancrooked, and how you would envision marketing it to its potential audience.
Novels/Book-Length Manuscripts: Work longer than 40k words will be considered for the main Flatmancrooked imprint. Again, be prepared to present a synopsis of the story and an explanation for why you think it would be a good fit for Flatmancrooked, and how you would envision marketing it to its potential audience.
Format:
For short stories and novellas, we would like the full manuscript, printed and stapled with a cover sheet including complete contact information. For novels/book-length manuscripts we’d like to see the first 30 pages-or the first chapter and additional chapters that best represent the work, not to exceed 30 pages.
Note:
Please read and review Flatmancrooked’s submission guidelines and contractual standards so that you are familiar with our model.
Hope to see 50 great writers in San Francisco!
