How does the PBSummit submissions opportunity work?

The Picture Book Summit submissions opportunity works a little differently than submitting a query letter and manuscript. In order to attract top-notch, busy agents and editors, we’ve streamlined our process in order to get them excited about accepting submissions from our attendees.

Attendees who purchase the Summit + Submissions ticket will have the opportunity to pitch a manuscript to each agent and editor. They will all have their own submission form. That means you will be able to tailor your pitch to each individual agent or editor according to what they are seeking in submissions.

For example, you could submit the same pitch to every agent and editor, a different pitch for a different manuscript to each agent and editor, or anything in between. No matter what, you’ll have six opportunities to pitch YOUR project(s) to these industry professionals.

Will agents and editors provide feedback on all pitches?
No. We can’t guarantee feedback on all pitches. If an agent or editor is intrigued by your pitch, they will reach out to request the manuscript. Four of these six opportunities are submitting to individuals who are not currently open to general submissions, so it’s a great opportunity to get your pitches seen by these industry professionals.

Does my manuscript need to be complete to submit a pitch?
Yes. If an agent or editor likes your pitch, they will request the full picture book manuscript and you will want to make a great impression by sending a complete and polished manuscript. If you are querying an agent, we recommend having 3-4 submission-ready manuscripts prepared so the agent can see your body of work.

Do I have to submit a pitch for a picture book?

Yes! This is “Picture Book” Summit and our Featured Agents and Editors will be expecting to see pitches for picture books.

How long do I have to submit?
The submissions opportunity will be open to attendees who purchase the Summit + Submissions Ticket from October 10 to December 31, 2022. We suggest watching the panels live or in replay before submitting so you can tailor your pitch to each agent and/or editor.

When does registration close?
Registration ends this Friday, October 7, 2022. But be sure to register before October 3rd so you can attend the Summiteers-Only PJ Party LIVE!

If you’re ready to submit your pitches (or you will be by October), choose the Summit + Submissions Ticket when you click the button below.

Don’t need submission opportunities this year? Choose the Summit Only ticket.

At this time, none of these editors are accepting unsolicited submissions from unagented writers and only two of these agents are open to general submissions, so this is an excellent opportunity to get your pitch in front of these three powerhouse professionals!
