At this year‘s AFCC, we invite both aspiring and established authors to pitch their children's books manuscripts to publishing professionals in the industry.

Part of Writers & Illustrators Conference.

In this Speed Pitching session, AFCC Writers and Illustrators Conference delegates have 5-10 minutes to pitch their children’s books ideas to literary agents and publishing representatives from Singapore, China, India and Philippines. This could be your chance to get your works published! If you think your manuscript could be The Next Big Thing, book a pitching slot now with our panelists.
