graphic novel pitch event

Graphic Novel Agents List + Other Cool Things

~ Johnell DeWitt ~ Leave a comment

Greetings everyone. The year passed so quickly, but I’ve got some great info to share. KidLitGN is hosting its annual pitch event this October. We’ve had an editor give us some suggestions on how to enhance the event for industry pros, so we’re looking forward to some possible changes.

This event is open to agented and unagented graphic novel creators in categories that range from comics-style picture books to YA.

GN creators can load pitches from 8 a.m. (EDT) Oct. 3 until 11:59 p.m. (EDT) Oct. 7

Pitches open to agents and editors at 8 a.m. (EDT) Oct. 7 and close at 11:59 p.m. (EDT) Oct. 31

Check out the website for more info: https://wp.me/pcVwAl-25z

And some other awesome GN resources you might enjoy. Janna Morishima from Kids Comics Unite recently posted an informative article about her time at MOCCA. She gave really great tips about how to successfully table and draw in a crowd, so check it out.

And for writers or even illustrators who want to learn how to write graphic novels, check out Julie Hedlund’s graphic novel course coming up: https://juliehedlund.teachable.com/…/how-to-write…/

And the Let’s Go!: A Kids Comics Studio Anthology is available to purchase on Amazon! I forgot to update everyone with this news. I must say, it was very fulfilling to create an author’s page. The anthology was a ton of work, but all worth it in the end.

Finally, I’ve been working hard to clean up a list of graphic novel agents. As you know, the industry changes a lot so double check the websites to confirm if the agent is still with the agency and that they do in fact, want graphic novel submissions. I’ve done my best, but I’m sure there are errors I haven’t uncovered yet. (If you see any, let me know.)

It’s Been a While and Other Good Things

~ Johnell DeWitt ~ 2 Comments
Art by Ken Lamug

I’ve been neglecting this site, but for good reasons. I’ve been busy as part of a team effort on the newest KidLit GN Pitch event, which is Oct. 6! Coming next week.

I’ve also been busy writing my own graphic novels and other work, some of which I’ll be pitching then as well, but I do have a new post coming soon.

For now, check out the details at https://kidlitgn.com if you are a graphic novel creator and are looking to pitch to agents or editors (agented and un-agented creators are welcome on the website pitch).

And check out the posts on the KidLit GN Blog for great advice on pitching and for a chance to win some awesome prizes, including classes, critiques, Kids Comics Studio membership and more.

Have a great week!
