Advice for Tapas Pitch?

[RosesnWater]

So I’ve decided to pitch my novel to Tapas and I was looking for some advice. I’ve already included all the information they requested but does anyone have any experience with pitching and if so should I mention how my novel has performed on other sites? Unfortunately I don’t have much traffic right now but the readers who are with me are really awesome and very engaging so I’d like to think I have something worth while ^^’

there's really no need to overdo. Just follow the guidelines they ask for. they get a lot of requests, I'm sure, so I don't see how saying more than what is required would help the cause.

Brevity is your best friend. Good luck!!

Hmm. Although now that I think about it, you could show us what you're going to submit, logline, etc., and let's see if it's got some wheels to it?

Aaahhhh fair! That would be great to get some help!

LOGLINE: An emotional retelling of beauty and the beast wrought with faeries, monsters and a young blacksmith trying to avenge her mentor and understand the man who’s taken her captive before time runs out for both of them.

It had like 700K or so views on Wattpad, is that big enough to matter on Tapas??

Thanks again for all help ^^’

Really like this. It might get a little confusing towards the end of that though:

An emotional retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" wrought with faeries and monsters, as a young blacksmith tries to avenge her mentor and understand the man who’s taken her captive before time runs out for both of them.

Seems a bit more understandable that way, you think?

Thank you for the advice and I totally agree, I’ll be sure to change it before sending it in ^^

I've pitched two novels successfully to Tapas and have a third in the programme because it won the Third Writer's Camp.

It's hard to give feedback on a pitch without being able to see what you've got together. Your synopsis and cover letter are also going to be important, and you should definitely mention off-platform success if you have it on another site. If you want some help, my DMs are open or you can grab me on Discord.

[RosesnWater]

That would be so amazing! Do you prefer DMs on here or Wattpad?? Thanks again in advance! I really appreciate any experts taking the time to help me ^^

[KRWright]

Here would be way better. Wattpad's DMs system are always a pain to work with.

Got it! Thanks again^^
