If you are participating in #PitMad, I hope you have many agent hearts today! We have from 8 a.m. EST to 8 p.m. EST to try.
I started out tweeting all four of my current picture book manuscripts, but I may end up concentrating on just two for the remainder of the day. I am not sure yet.
If you’d like to retweet mine, here they are. Follow me on Twitter and let me know if you’ve got some to retweet as well!
What’s #PBPitch? It’s a designated day for pitching your picture book on Twitter in the hopes that agents will see it, and put a heart on it! We can pitch as many manuscripts as we want, but only twice each: Once in the morning, and once in the evening. This means something like pitch before 2 p.m. and pitch after 2 p.m. Click here for more details.
I’m participating in this pitch fest for the first time. The rules are that only agents/editors should “heart” pitches. Everyone else, please support with a comment or retweet. Good luck to you if you are participating!

First time visiting? My name is Becky Benishek, and my picture books can help the child or children in your life explore the world around them, enjoy whimsical adventures, learn about empathy, and feel good about the person they are.
This special is made possible by the 2020 Holiday Indie Book Festival where my books and many others, including book-related items and holiday cards, are on sale. Here’s the Facebook group where it’s all happening.
A guinea pig named George lives in a house with a person named George, who is a doctor. But every time the phone rings and someone in the house says, “George, it’s for you,” guinea pig George thinks they mean him! Then one day, George is able to show what he can do during a very unexpected house call.
Dr. Guinea Pig George helps kids believe in themselves, even if their dreams seem out of reach.
A kitten named Mouse meows so much that she’s always being told to hush! Only Little Liz appreciates Mouse, because nobody really pays attention to what she has to say, either. Then one day, they prevent a crime, proving that even though they’re small, they’re worth being listened to!
Hush, Mouse! helps kids feel their voices are important, no matter their size.
Sidney Snail is so bored that he’s about to leave town in search of adventure. But when mysterious Old Samuel Snail convinces him to take one last look around, Sidney discovers he’s been missing amazing things all along.

What’s At the End of Your Nose? helps kids realize that they don’t have to be bored–there’s a whole world waiting for them to discover, right in their own homes and backyards.
The Squeezor is a monster who just wants to give hugs: Great, big, wrap-his-arms-around-you-twice, squeezy hugs. The trouble is, he looks so scary, even other monsters run away! How can he get everyone to look past his appearance and be his friend? Join the Squeezor in Ghastly Gigapolis as he figures it out!
The Squeezor is Coming! helps kids learn not to judge based on appearances, and also that each of them has their own very special talents.
