Agents, editors, and publishers, thank you for your interest in our event! We hope you’ll connect with at least some of the graphic novel projects pitched. All we ask in return is the following:
- Tweet your submission guidelines using #KidLitGN during or slightly before our scheduled event. Please provide information on how they should submit to you, including how much to send, and how you want them to label their submission in the subject line.
- Favorite/like the tweets of pitches you would like submitted to you. You can “like” as many tweets as you wish, but please know that it is up to the graphic novel creator to pitch to you or not.
- We know you won’t have time to follow the thread all 12 hours of the event, so we’ve provided sub-hashtags to allow industry professionals to search for specific categories, ages, etc. (See our hashtag page here: https://kidlitgn.blogspot.com/2020/09/the-kidlitgn-pitch-event.html)
Search Tips:
- To search for a specific categories, type #KidLitGN plus any of the hashtags you’re interested in. For example, for middle grade non-fiction, type #KidLitGN #MG #NF
