These Are #FakePitMad’s Funniest Tweets

If you’re wondering why my eyes are extra green today, #PitMad took place this week!

Organised by Pitch Wars, it’s an online pitching contest that gives writers the chance to grab agents attention.

It’s something I’ve always wanted to take part in but you need a complete, polished and unpublished manuscript to join in. I’m around 45-50k of the way through my book right now and let me tell you – it’s not complete, never mind polished!

But with PitMad comes #FakePitMad, the hashtag that brings us some of the world’s funniest pitches.

I had a long scroll and here are some of my faves from the past year of #FakePitMad!

Out comes a gun.
"No," she says, climbing in. "We're going to speak to…the manager."

Introverted Sharpie just wants so sit in his quiet drawer in the Oval Office with unread memos, but one day he's pulled out by an orange buffoon and unwittingly used to commit the crime of falsifying a weather projection.
