Quick note to you all, KidLitGN‘s pitch event opens in 4 short weeks and this is the month for prizes. Right now, you can enter to win a 12-month license to Clip Studio Paint EX. There are just a handful of entries so far, so your chances are good.

Next week, you can enter to win an Inspiroy 2 L pen tablet from HUION, and the week after, you can enter to win a license to Scrivener.

I’ve used Scrivener for years and love it, especially the snapshot feature, which I use liberally to keep a copy of all my drafts. All this will pop up on KidLitGN’s blog: https://kidlitgn.com/articles/

You can also subscribe to KidLitGN to get the most immediate info.

And if you’re a GN creator, Oct. 3 is the day the pitch window opens. Find out more at KidLitGN.com

I’ll be posting three pitches: two comics-style PB pitches and a humorous MG pitch. I’m looking forward to the option to connect with collaborators as much as anything, but of course, we all hope our pitch will be “liked” by an agent or editor.

If you’re entering a pitch or pitches this year, may the pitch fairies shower you with luck. And please pass on the word about the pitch event. The bigger it gets, the better the chance for everyone to make a connection.
