Y’all are my people… I love some teasers.
Like the fact that I may have drawn names for the lottery.
Like maybe I’m updating the website RIGHT NOW.
Like maybe there are more of you than in the past…

Just maybe.
How do we feel about teasers from our mentors? 👀

For now, we'd suggest limiting tweets to just your pitches...but there may or may not be an aesthetics free-for-all later in the day 👀
#WTPitch
@writeteammentor
is there a way for us to share our aesthetics? I know most pitch events don't allow them on pitches, but thought it could be fun for the community to share.

The next big step for our mentee hopefuls is the
#WTPitch
event. Pitch events are not uncommon on here, but what makes one pitch stand out in a sea of others? Concept? Emojis? Voice? Aesthetics?
All of it contributes to a good pitch, but what matters most is clear stakes.

Another Open Inbox question! 🧵Answer's in the thread!
Q: When you get an agent, does that agent stick with you and help you with your next book? Or do you need to find a new agent for every book you publish? Does this change if your first book is YA and your second is Adult?
