READ OUR NEW RULES
In the past, LatinxPitch was held on Twitter, but in 2024, we are moving the event to our website. We have new rules and are fine-tuning details, so please bear with us, and ask questions on our Twitter/X feed if you have them.
For WRITERS:
1. You are allowed three pitches total for the duration of the event. Post your pitches as comments on the appropriate page. HERE FOR WRITERS
2. We allow 65 words per pitch. Your pitch, plus desired hashtags, must fit within this parameter.
3. One pitch per comment. Don’t put your three pitches in one comment.
4. Editors and/or agents will comment on the manuscripts they would like if they’re interested.
5. General public can like comments to boost them but not comment.
FOR WRITER ILLUSTRATORS and ILLUSTRATORS only:
- You are allowed up to three pitches. Post your pitch as a comment in the appropriate page. HERE FOR WRITER/ILLUSTRATOR AND ILLUSTRATORS
- We allow 65 words per pitch or artist statement. Your pitch and hashtags must fit this parameter.
- To post your images (your own work) paste the image address as a link. You can post up to three links that will convert to images when the comment is approved.
- Editors or Agents will COMMENT on the pitch with information to submit.
FOR AGENTS AND EDITORS
- We’ll open the showcase on September 23rd 8 am., and will be available to browse until September 27th 8pm.
- Please browse the two dedicated pages for pitches to find writers with manuscripts ready, or illustrators pitching their artwork. HERE FOR WRITERS and HERE FOR ILLUSTRATORS
- Creators will use hashtag #AGENTED if they are already represented.
- If you would like to see a submission in your inbox, please LEAVE A COMMENT on the creator’s pitch. Include how to get in touch with you (may be a link to your website or your Twitter/X post explaining submissions)
- Please be patient with us as we navigate this new format. Let us know if you have questions.
- Your participation is NEEDED!
Hey, creators, if you don’t know how to pitch, here’s a basic formula:
(MC) is/has (Status Quo), but when (Inciting Incident) happens they must (Flawed Solution) or else (Consequence) #YA
Tweak and adjust according to your specific manuscript. Create several pitches and find which two you think best describes your book.
