The Rules

We don't have a lot of rules for KidLitPit. We want to create an inclusive, welcoming and friendly pitch event where everyone feels they have had the opportunity to pitch to agents and publishers. 

Rule 1: Be respectful. If you're not keen on someone's pitch, feel free not to comment on it. 

Rule 2: 3 pitches total per author. You can pitch multiple books, you can use mood boards and graphics but three pitches only. 

Rule 3: If you're an agent please like a post. This will let the author know you would like to hear more from them. 

Rule 4: If you're not an agent, please only comment on posts. Everyone gets so excited to have a 'like' only to find out it's someone kind being supportive and not an agent like after all. We are changing to comments only this year because we feel that comments and conversations about posts increases visibility much more than retweets. 

Rule 5: Please only pitch query ready manuscripts. Make the most of the opportunity by being able to query as soon as the pitch event is over.
