As an MM writer with their first conventionally-published book coming out soon, I am going to be so interested to see if there is a #HeatedRivalry effect. And if so, what form it takes. Are audiences really interested or was HR a one-off?

Get those pitches in!

If you think you have something the publishers would like, I highly recommend participating! It's run by lovely folks and I actually got a book deal from last year's event.
