Yes, unfortunately, it looks like it. I'm trying to find more information but seems like it's been pretty thoroughly scrubbed.

I will post about it after I verify the upcoming pitch events that happening after that date.

Thank you for letting me know!

We are open to published works but, we're very sorry, the event concluded yesterday.

There are a number of other pitch events throughout the year, though.

We have a Starter Pack of them that we're aware of:

If you're looking to keep up on what pitch events are going on, we have a Starter Pack of all the ones we know!

We will also post when other events we know about are upcoming as they approach!

With #BluePit wrapping, our next event January 13th, 2026!

In the meantime, there's still one pitch event left this month!

For dark, spooky, or tragic literature open to WIPs and Querying authors alike, @wickedpit.bsky.social is on July 31st!

For all of #BookSky out there, we've extended our Published feed to last until the end of the week.

There are some AMAZING stories available right now in here if you're looking for your next read!

For our #LiteraryAgent followers, we know not everyone can be browsing during the single day #BluePit takes place, so we've set our Querying feed to extend the rest of the week.

Please feel free share with your fellow agents that are not on BlueSky.

That is an excellent spot. I did not realize it was filtering them out. I've made a change, so I think they will appear there now.

If anyone's pitches got reposted or liked by this account, or if you saw that happen, that was accidental and those have been removed.

We will not interact with pitches during the event.

Our organizer may not have realized they were on their personal account for a few minutes there. 😅

Sell *your* stuff. 🤣

Yes, there's always so many stories we're dying to read!

But! We also have published works being promoted during the event too!

Here's a feed of works you can get right now!

Yes, we're very sorry about that. We should have that fixed now.

Please let us know if you're still having any issues with the feeds!

We had an issue with the feed and whether or not there was a space between the hashtag and the emoji. That should be resolved.

That plus the Q hashtag should show up in the feed.

Sorry for all the confusion! Please let me know if you're still having issues.

Okay, I think I fixed it now. The problem was very dumb. It was looking for a space after the Q. You're posts last character was the Q hashtag. That's why it missed you.

Your post shows up, so I'm pretty sure I've go it this time.

There seemed to be a caching element. I've removed that part, so I think that may fix it.

Thank you for catching that so early! I've fixed it for all the other emoji feeds too,
