Socialize

Most of our social presence lives on on X (sorry, anti-Xers) where we run giveaways and amplify voices in the writing and filmmaking communities.

If you absolutely hate the idea of being on X/Twitter, you're in luck! You don't need to have an account to follow along, only to engage. Just search for the hashtag and reload the feed. It's a little lurk-y, but that's fine.

Pipeline Twitter Mixers:

#PipelineWriters
First Thursday of Every Month
6pm-8pm PST / 9pm-11pm EST

The Utterly Fantastic (Sometimes) Monthly Mixer of Writers presented by Pipeline Artists.

Screenwriters, novelists, all writers welcome.

We might have a specific topic, we might have a guest Q&A, but most likely, it's a free-for-all!

Random giveaways, too—sometimes contest entries, sometimes the very-popular Pipeline Artists mugs, sometimes notes from Script Pipeline or Book Pipeline.

Pipeline Recommended Twitter Chats:

#scriptchat: Sunday 5pm PT / 8pm ET

The Screenwriter Twitter chat that started Screenwriter Twitter chats.

In 2009, our Editor-in-Chief Jeanne Veillette Bowerman co-founded #scriptchat, where screenwriters first learned the phrase "Twitter chat." There's only one rule: bring your tequila (or beverage of choice) and leave your ego behind. Over 200 industry guests have appeared, from David B. Hayter and Jane Espenson, to showrunner Sheryl Anderson. Check #Scriptchat for details—and 12 years of transcripts.

Writing Challenges:

While we love our social-media chats, we also love to inspire writers to get words on the page. What better way than to give them a challenge!

Lit Agent Info (for authors):

#DVpit: Do Twitter pitching events actually work? Hell, yes! Here's one for diverse writers: "An annual Twitter pitching event for un-agented, self-identifying historically marginalized authors & illustrators," created by MG and YA literary agent Beth Phelan. The success stories are real. The online Twitter event is held every October, so be sure to check the #DVpit website as well as their Twitter @DVpit_.

#MSWL (manuscript wishlist): Lit agents use this hashtag to tweet out what they're looking for!
