#pitlight
we gently ask agents, editors, and presses to refrain from commenting, boosting, qrting, liking, or engaging with pitlight pitches in any way.
There are a lot of pitch events, we want this one to be specifically for authors to maintain a positive atmosphere! 😊

One last clarification--tomorrow's
#pitlight
is specifically for kidlit! YA, MG, and PB!
Our Dec event will be for marginalized authors, and our April event will be for Adult/NA ✨
This separation is to prevent the tag from getting too overwhelmed. Thanks for understanding! 💖

Not sure if you're a marginalized author?Ask yourself this:
Are you a white allocishet neurotypical non-disabled individual whose community is well represented in literature?
If you answered "no" then you can participate in pitlight tomorrow!

Agents are not allowed to participate in pitlight. That is our rule to maintain a positive authors-only environment. You are an agent. You have constantly interacted with pitlight in the past despite our one rule that makes this event special. This should not be controversial.

Today's
#pitlight
is being hosted on Twitter AND Instagram! If you need more love, post your pitches and moodboards across platforms! I am scanning the tag on both sites! 🥰

@lanewriteswords
Pitlight is an authors only positivity event. Agents boosting their clients to try and draw editor attention creates an unfair dynamic. Editors are not allowed to participate in this event either, so again, please do not engage with this event, as this is the most important rule.

Couple reminders:
1) This is for
#kidlit
only!
2) People with unfinished manuscripts can participate
3) Agented authors can participate
4) Please only post 3-4 pitches through the day
Thank you!

Hi Lane! Commenting because I can't DM. We kindly ask that agents not participate in pitlight or try to push for industry participation. This is a positivity event specifically for authors to boost each other and make new friends. I hope you understand!

You're doing a great job!! It read so smoothly, like the "intensity of the moment" and the "icy knot," ahh, it's fantastic!!
