This page is for un-agented authors and author-illustrators pitching Young Adult (YA) projects. The comments section won’t be visible until 8 a.m. EDT on the Saturday before the pitch event opens for editors and agents.

How to Pitch:

• Add your pitch as a comment below.

• Keep it under 600 characters, including any sub-hashtags you want to use (as seen here).

• Author-Illustrators: You can upload one file 5MB or under that includes multiple pieces of project art.

• Writers-only: You may upload an image file with your bio plus a PDF of up to 4 script pages if you’d like.

• Be sure to review the full How to Pitch guide before posting.

Very Important:

• Only agents and editors are allowed to comment on pitches. GN creators, if you reply to a pitch your comment will be removed. We want to keep the pages as easy to navigate as possible, so please respect this rule.

• Illustrators, if you want to reply to an author who has indicated a wish to find a collaborator, please DO NOT reply to their pitch, use the contact info they provided to reach out to them instead.

Thanks for being part of KidLitGN — we can’t wait to see your stories!
