What is a @BlackBabyBooks Kid Lit Pitch event?
During our Kid Lit Pitch events, authors of children's books with Black protagonists will have the opportunity to pitch their book (in three minutes) to the @BlackBabyBooks audience by answering four questions: 1. Who are you? 2. What is the name of your book? 3. What is your book about? 4. Why did you write/publish your book? Next, you will have two minutes to answer any additional questions, and that's a wrap! In order to participate you have to enter your book into the Kid Lit Pitch Giveaway, and you must ship your book to the winner in a timely fashion.
