When Alysie discovers an ancient gray whale whale washed up on the beach, she teams with two teenagers who share her gift to communicate with them. The odds are stacked against the whale whisperers but they aren’t about to give up. #KidlitPitPreview #clairedatnow.com

Easy! On the day of the pitch we RT and/or comment on each other's pitch. This will boost visibility. I recommend you trade support with as many pitching authors as possible - the # will get crowded during the event and it's easy for a lonely tweet to get lost!

Who doesn't love a #KLPMoodBoard? Unleash your creativity, share the mood and tone of your novel. Most images will not be the authors' own, which we understand, but mood boards are about fun and creativity! Share yours. #KidLitPit

Due to some confusion about the start time, #KidLitPit begins at midnight your time. Check out our #KLPWeAreLive announcements to see when KidLitPit begins in your time zone. We suggest scheduling tweets for when you know the agents will be looking at your tweets.

Today's a big day for Sudowrite. We're launching Story Engine, an AI tool for writing long-form stories. Our awesome team worked with hundreds of novelists for months to build the ideal interface for writers and machines to collaborate on a narrative.

One of the main goals of #KidLitPit is to make connections between authors. This is why #AuthorConnect is one of our favourite mini events. This time, we'd like to introduce you to our organisers. First up, Frances Wong. Her first novel can be found here: amzn.eu/d/fy8lmKR
