If you don’t, that’s okay! I personally like to build Pinterest boards to establish a “look” and aesthetic for each character to help support the visual. If you have an artist attached to your project already, having concept art for the main characters can be very helpful. at the end? What will they learn? How will they grow? Who are they at the start of the story vs.
You not only want to include a blurb about who each of the characters is, what they look like, etc. Put the focus on the ones that we see the most and/or the ones that have the most impact on the characters around them. This is a breakdown of the major characters that we’ll meet in the story (or the first arc that you’re pitching-if you’re looking to create an ongoing series). One of the biggest components of any pitch is your character section. You really want to entice readers (aka editors, agents, publishers) with this. Think of what you’d read on the back of a book or graphic novel. This is the longer summary of your story that gets into slightly more detail. It’s basically the elevator pitch to entice readers in. The title can be changed later but it’s important to have something in place here.Ī short summary of your story no more than 1-2 sentences long. *Always include a title as opposed to UNTITLED PROJECT or whatever. This is everything you’ll find in the pitch doc here (but scroll down under it for a downloadable Word file): Make sure to follow the instructions and include everything that they require to give your pitch the best possible chance for success. For publishers that have open submissions, they’ll typically list what they need from you right on the page. Keep in mind that what you need for a pitch can vary from editor to editor and from publisher to publisher.

Feel free to change it up to be whatever you need, but this is my go-to way to make sure I have everything that I need for telling folks about my story idea. I’ve melded my own personal way of pitching with Jim Zub’s method (from his post Here Comes the Pitch and other educational posts by him). There’s no standard way to pitch in comics, but there are certain elements of your book that should be included no matter who you’re reaching out to. I’ve been getting asked quite a bit about pitching to an editor, agent, or publisher.
