Inside KidLitGN: Helping Creators Pitch Their Graphic Novels


In this episode of Storycomic Presents, I chat with author and founding member of KidLitGN, Johnell DeWitt, about the work KidLitGN is doing to connect writers and illustrators of children’s graphic novels with agents and editors.


Johnell shares how this free platform started as a passion project and has grown into a major resource for creators breaking into the kid-lit graphic novel space. We also talk about her contribution to the Let’s Go! — A Kids Comics Studio Anthology, her co-written story Runaway Train, and what it takes to successfully pitch in a crowded market. If you’re curious about how to get your graphic novel in front of the right people—or how to help support a vibrant creator community—this is one you won’t want to miss.
