KidLitGN hosts an annual pitch event designed to get GN creators’ projects in front of agents and editors. The pitch event is the first Wednesday in October and includes writers and illustrators of middle-grade and younger graphic novels (for YA, see our sister site: yagnpitch.com).
The comments sections for the pitch sections will remain off until pitches open for pre-loading, and won’t be viewable until the start of the pitch event.
Event date:
The the pitches for 2023 will be viewable on October 4 at 8 a.m. EDT and will remain open for requests from agents and editors through 11:59 October 6.
You can begin adding your website pitches starting at 8 a.m. Oct. 1 until 11:59 October 3. We will have a small window on the first morning of the event to correct and load any pitches that had trouble pre-loading, but any entry after that time will be deleted.
