3.45 - 4.45 NEW WRITERS PITCHING SESSION
A chance for the comic strip authors of the future to prove themselves to the captains of the comic industry.
You have 2 minutes on stage to pitch to a panel of professional comic writers, artists and editors, your idea for a story, series or character. The audience will vote for their favourite. Your career in comics starts here.
Are you the new Alan Moore? The new Stan Lee? The new person-who-writes-The-Bash-St-Kids? If so, put your name on the list now.
Email kevf@sitsvac.org saying "I'd like to enter the New Writers Pitch Fest", and include your name, a phone number, and a brief description of what kind of writing you'd like to pitch (story? character? Tharg's Future Shock? funny strip?). If you get onto the shortlist to pitch, you'll also win a free ticket to the Comic Festival.
Judges include DC editor Dan DiDio, 2000AD and The Authority's Frazer Irving and Robbie Morrison, 2000AD's Siku, Warhammer's Stu Taylor, new publisher GFI's Surjan Singh + surprise guests.

I went to this at the bristol festival this year (organized by the same people)

Some participants take this seriously others don't - oddly enough the people who don't take it too seriously tend to get the best response from the crowd and the panel (but this by no means you'll get published...)

But, yeah, as i say - its a bit of a grin and another reason to come on down and support the event...

Well, I've never gone to any comics festival before, but this looks good. I'll be buying a ticket tonight.

Pub afterwards, anyone?

re: the Pitch Fest, I still say Sick Tim woz robbed.

And I won't be there, because I'll be in Minneapolis.

But if I was there, I would be in the pub all day. :]

I've bagsied a place in the portfolio review session and so hope to be touting both Jenny Everywhere and the Slabs on the day.
