Hello, my name is Peter Lopez and I write about Latine kids going on wild adventures. My #PitchWars book is a MG portal fantasy called ALAN & DANIEL VS. THE AZTEC WORLDS.
In it you'll find:
- magical bodegas
- piñata dragons
- mesoamerican myths
- family shenanigans

I haven't decided how I'll go about my #PWParty20 tweets yet, but maybe I'll thread them here? This was Day 1... excited for the lead up to the showcase! My book will be showcased on February 11th!
Time for my #PitchWars comps for Day 2 of the #PWParty20!
You'll love ALAN & DANIEL VS. THE AZTEC WORLDS if you're a fan of...
the mythology, comedy, and fun of PERCY JACKSON meets the culture, family adventure, and heartwarming moments of COCO

For Day 3 of #PWParty20 I am sharing an aesthetic for my #PitchWars book, ALAN & DANIEL VS. THE AZTEC WORLDS!
So much duality. Twin POVs. The Creator of Life vs the God of the Dead. The Overworld and the Underworld. Cadejos of Light & Dark

Today I'm sharing my fav excerpt. A&D is a book about kids who find out their mom used to be a goddess before she was exiled from the heavens.
This is a story about demigods, but at its core it's a story about the sacrifices immigrants make for their kids.

My book, ALAN & DANIEL is perfectly paired with...
Pupusas! I mention them many times in the book so you might as well be eating them!
Horchata, the perfect sweet drink on the side
& Salvadoran quesadillas which are actually sweet bread

I'm so excited to share the interview that @sofipasternack & I did for #PitchWars!
We spoke about ALAN & DANIEL, but also about what it meant to be a writer of El Salvadoran descent trying to get published with a story like this. Ty for all the support! https://pitchwars.org/pitch-wars-team-interview-with-peter-lopez-and-mentor-sofiya-pasternack/

I’m ready to sing @sofipasternack’s praises today. I couldn’t have been chosen by a more perfect mentor.
Sofiya is intelligent, patient, hilarious, and perfectly understood how to elevate my story. But also an AMAZING friend, & I’m so lucky to have met her.

I’m amazed that Sofiya read my book so many times & loved it each time. I can’t believe how passionate she is about finding a home for my story. And even after Pitch Wars is over, I know we’ll still be friends & still collaborating & still laughing at MG jokes. I’m so grateful
