Have you seen artist pitches? I want to add my portfolio to the #DVpit, but I can't find any format examples for illustrators, and I don't know how I'd do that pitch other than include illustrations 😭

Let me introduce my main character, Safa Rizwan!

Determined, sensitive, and stuck with a frustrating case of amnesia, Safa has one goal throughout the novel: to reverse her death. And she'll do anything to get there, even face her darkest fear: her past self.

Oh, thanks for your interest! I'll send it this week 🥹
