If you used TweetDeck at the Other Place, you'll find deck.blue very easy to navigate, and probably the best way to follow #kidlitchat in real time. However you choose to follow, we hope to see you tonight at 9 pm Eastern!

One thing that I’m brainstorming a solution for is the volume of non-agent/editor likes pitches got in our trial event. Hoping to reduce that number in future. #skypitch

I really do believe this is the best thing about Bluesky in its current incarnation. Everywhere else feels like you're wearing a sandwich board trying to get people to talk to you, but those people are wearing their own sandwich boards. I'm actually having conversations with people here!

The collapse of pitch parties on X left a hole, and feedback over the year made me realize many people working alone in the query trenches needed to interact and get feedback. Agent/editor likes isn’t the only reason to do this. Bluesky excels at letting you mingle with other creatives! ❤️

In the meantime, I'm hoping to keep an eye on skypitch. If I ❤️ your pitch, you can find my submission info at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/to... (and note that I'm an editor who accepts unagented & agented work, not an agent myself!)

I saw a couple of agents and one assistant editor from Holiday House. I didn't get any likes but I did meet and connect with lots of #kidlit folks so it was a win! Thanks, @boringstorybook.com for hosting this!

#skyfeed was planned as a proof of concept to gauge community response / gather metrics we can all use to show that Bluesky is a worthwhile social media platform to adopt.
And a cathartic release for creators who are working and querying in a vacuum to get feedback & connect with other creators.👍

The volume and caliber of pitches to #skypitch today proves Bluesky has the talent and logistics to keep holding events like this. Every pitch has helped prove a concept and helps make a strong argument for more industry people adopting the platform. 🩵
You are all awesome!

That's fantastic!
As word spreads to other platforms, more #kidlit agents and editors will want to participate.
