#KidlitLatinx#LatinxPitch
It’s been a difficult decision but we’re pumped for what comes in the future! Spread the word: LatinxPitch is now a bi-annual event!
Thanks to all creators and publishing professionals for your support! #kidlit#latinxpitch
So thrilled to meet the amazing @reynagrande in person and to celebrate her latest award. Thanks to the @tulsaPublicLibrary for organizing her talk and book signing, and being big on promoting representation! #HHM#representationmatters
Our own @marianallanos ‘ book Benita and the Night Creatures was featured in @abc4utah as part of Hispanic Heritage Month and Halloween recommendations! Check it out : https://t.co/oVqXC98SPG
Our team thanks EVERYONE who participated in #LatinxPitch ! Writers & Illustrators, Editors & Agents thanks for your trust. We dream of a day when LatinxPitch isn’t a need anymore, but in the meantime we’re here pushing with you because we know that #RepresentationMatters 🎉
These are the moments we live for: @marianallanos co-founder of #LatinxPitch with Andrea Beatriz Arango, LatinxPitch success story: a Newbery Honor and Pura Belpré Honor author who found her agent through our event! Together for the 1st time in PR 🇵🇷 at Encuentro LEE @icppr
LOL! I just realized today is the 28th. We’ll keep the page up today and disconnect tomorrow. Hey! I’m at the beach in Puerto Rico, so you can blame the magic of the Caribbean for my foggy brain. 😅😂🇵🇷 I blame it on PR!
And if you didn’t get a comment, don’t get disappointed. Keep working on your pitch and take part of other pitch events. Keep on hustling and submitting. Perseverance is key!
Hey LatinxPitchers, don’t forget to check your pitches and SAVE the info given by agent or editor if you got them. The page will become non-visible after the 27. #latinxpitch 1/
And if you got comments, congratulations!! 🎉🍾
But remember that you don’t HAVE TO submit. Do your research and see if you’re a good fit first. Make sure your story is ready to go when you send it. We wish you much success!
