XpoNorth TweetPitch 2022
The annual XpoNorth Tweet Pitch, produced in association with the Association of Scottish Literary Agents, gives writers from across Scotland the chance to pitch their work to a panel of Scotland’s leading literary agents and publishers. Writers of all levels and from all genres have the chance to land a book deal by simply pitching their work in 280 characters or less and tagging #XpoNorth. Completed work or projects still in development will be considered from writers living and working in Scotland. The only requirement is that the work must be unpublished.
Ahead of the Tweet Pitch event in January, there will also be two writing and publishing sessions:
