NOTE: The comments sections for the age categories will remain off until the pitches are allowed, but will remain inaccessible to public viewing until the start of the pitch event.
KidLitGN hosts an annual pitch event the first Wednesday in October for writers and illustrators of middle grade and younger graphic novels, designed to get their manuscripts in front of agents and editors (sorry, no YA or adult at this time).
We are hosting a Twitter pitch event on October 5, 2022 for un-agented authors/author-illustrators (see here for details).
Our corresponding website event, starts October 5, 2022 and agents and editors can view pitches until October 7. You can begin adding your website pitches starting at 8 a.m. Oct. 2 until 11:59 October 4. Any entry after that time will be deleted.
The website event includes space for un-agented and agented GN creators and un-agented and agented illustrators who are pitching their portfolio instead of a project.
For information on how to load your pitch, see our How to Load A Pitch page.
