BBC Radio Wants you to Pitch Stories on Twitter – Hilarity Ensues

Last week agents from Curtis Brown and Conville & Walsh received more than 2,000 pitches for books on the first inaugural #PitchCB day. Authors had to sum up their book in 140 characters or less and used Twitter. Due to the success of this event, BBC Radio 4 began soliciting pitches on Curtis Browns behalf and hilarity has ensued.
