Was It Worth It? My Pitchfest Experience. What happens when your pitch doesn’t win… but still kinda does? A tale of near-disaster, hidden wins, soggy cereal, and surprise hope. Here's what went down at Pitchfest 2025.

I did a lil' writeup of my @kidscomicsunite.bsky.social Pitchfest 2025 experience. It was a whirlwind and all-around awesome experience. Shoutout to the KCU team for doing a bang-up job!

Boom. First post. Been working long and hard the past couple of months on my first graphic novel pitch with my lovely colorist Raquel Hetherington. Look forward to seeing more of these characters soon!

BEHOLD! My #graphicnovel pitch for #kcupitchfest! A lot of love went into this & I hope it shows. I’m more proud of these pages than anything I’ve ever drawn. 🥲

This is my love letter to JRPGs, graffiti, & the magic of youth. Enjoy!

You can also pitch early readers and YA, as well as MG at #KCUPitchFest. Didn't mean to give the wrong impression.
Thanks for listening fellow #comiccreators!
