After a search of Twitter, we couldn't find a children's fiction pitch event since 2018. Because children's literature is inspiring our future world leaders, scientists, teachers, accountants, our future everythings, we know how important children's literature is to the world. Our stories are shaping the future.  To that end, we decided to launch our own Kid Lit pitch event on Twitter to showcase those amazing stories for agents and publishers.  If an agent or publisher likes 💓 your pitch it means they would like to hear more from you.
