Focused Rose Mermaid · Mar 21, 2025

Hello! I'm a PB author from WA state, and I write primarily picture books.

Victorious Blue Manananggal · Mar 21, 2025

Rhyming PB Author here. Thanks for having me!

Spring Green Charismatic Gorilla · Mar 20, 2025

Hi! I’m Nuzhat - a former professional editor with more than a decade of experience in entertainment journalism. I recently pivoted to writing children’s picture books (with one MG manuscript in progress), and it has been a blast (though querying isn’t so fun). New to this site and looking forward to getting to know everyone.

J. Jenson · Mar 20, 2025

Hello! I'm so glad I found out about Pitchfest from the KidLit Facebook page just in time!
I write picture books, children's poetry, and young adult novels. I'm always happy to find another place to connect with other writers. Writing communities are hard to come by in tiny rural towns!

Harmonious Pine Green Seal · Mar 20, 2025

Hello I’m a multi genre writer from the US.

Friendly Magenta Sheep · Mar 20, 2025

Hello all, I am a scifi writer from central NY. Looking forward to sharing some pitches with everyone!

KrylinStar · Mar 19, 2025

new here, still learning the ropes

Balanced Green Clam · Mar 19, 2025

I am a children's book author from Virginia and glad to be here! My debut book, "I'd Rather Be Me", was published in September 2024. Good luck to everyone participating in Pitchfest 2025!

DimeS · Mar 19, 2025

Hi,

I’m writing fiction in several different genres.
Not sure which one I like best.

Excited Topaz Coyote · Mar 19, 2025

Hi! I am excited to be here. I am a full-time ghostwriter based in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula looking to publish my own works. I love writing heartbreakingly beautiful stories that fall somewhere between magical realism and speculatively bent, usually exploring trauma, what it means to be human, and other existential questions.

Sheryl Stein · Mar 19, 2025

Can someone please tell me how to change the odd moniker I was given? Thanks.

Graceful Tan Salamander · Mar 19, 2025

Hello, everyone. I'm new here and looking forward to being a part of this community.

Strong Wintergreen Newt · Mar 18, 2025

Hello! I'm new here. I'm a uni student from London studying Finance, but I've always loved writing so much more and wished I studied it. I'm currently working on a YA Dark Academia novel. So excited to be a part of this community!

alexauthor137 · Mar 17, 2025

Hello from NY! I found out about PitchFest from the Courage to Create Community and I'm excited to participate! I've written and queried a few novels, all YA sci-fi or fantasy, but the novel I'm querying now is YA/Adult Crossover Fantasy. Hoping to land an agent for this novel, and for my writing career!

authormariam · Mar 16, 2025

I learned about Savvy Authors a few years back, but have finally gained the courage to try it out. Polishing the last few bits of my pitch right now!

AnnMcCallumBooks · Mar 16, 2025

Hi, I'm Ann McCallum Staats. I have a soon-to-be published website and soon-to-be released new book called Fantastic Flora: The World's Biggest, Baddest, and Smelliest Plants (Candlewick/ MIT Kids Press, May 2025). I've been writing for awhile, mostly nonfiction and am newly agented by Jennifer Unter. Yay! I'm completely passionate about kidlit and am glad to join another community of kidlit lovers.

SarahClaxton · Mar 16, 2025

I just learned about this from a critique partner, happy to be here!

margaretmangan · Mar 16, 2025

Hello from a new member! I am a PhD geoscientist who writes character-driven picture books that use adventure and/or humor to spark curiosity about the workings of the natural world. I write to engage young girls especially, creating stories that show it’s OK to speak out, step up, go bold…and defy convention.

Honestly Tara · Mar 14, 2025

Just heard about SavvyAuthors for the first time today and since my manuscript is ready, decided to dive in and get started. I'll be spending the weekend preparing my pitch!

cekster · Mar 14, 2025

I'm a children's author and retired teacher. I lost my agent this past summer and am interested in Pitchfest. I sold my fifth book through a twitter pitch before I was agented so I believe in these opportunities!
