Quick FAQs
Pitches will stay up the entire month of October. Once the event closes, we will password protect the pages. Agents/editors who request the password can view and request the pitches for the rest of the year. However, you can request to have your pitch removed at any time during the event. Please email kidlitgn at gmail dot com to ask us to remove your pitch(es). All pitches will be deleted a few days before next year's pitch event.
You'll be able to see your pitch once you load it and can make changes to the text, but will need to delete and reload if you need to make changes to the art. Please contact us at our email address, kidlitgn at gmail dot com, to delete any duplicate pitches.
We strongly recommend pitching new projects each year. And authors-only, you can now add an image file with sample pages from your script. See the How to Load a Pitch section for details.
