Rescheduling #PreApI to Friday! Apologies for the delay 🙇🏽

We're getting closer and closer to the big day, so we're back with another pitch tip! Today's tip: STAKES! Make sure the stakes of your premise are clear. What do your character(s) have to lose if they do not accomplish their goal? #amquerying #APIPit

Hey, API #amquerying #writingcommunity--this is tomorrow! Kyra M. Nelson (Updates Only) will be offering feedback on pitches; please tweet your practice pitch with the hashtag #PreAPI!

It's gonna be ✨MAY✨! Today's Pitch Tip is a backup in case you can't get sample pages done in time for your GN pitch: draw up story driven illustrations/ concept art and character lineup/ character art instead! #amquerying #APIPit

Good morning! It is almost time for #APIpit (two days!). Have questions? Reply to this thread and AMA! I’ll be in and out all day, and I’m more than happy to answer what I can! 💜💜💜 #APIPit

With deep regret, we're announcing that APIPit will be on hiatus from 2024 onwards. Because Twitter has grown far from ideal for pitch events with the bots stealing pitches and messy algorithm, we have decided it is best to pause APIPit until we've found a better alternative.
