#PitchDis was created to showcase pitches from the disabled community, which has been historically underrepresented in the publishing industry.

In order to participate in #PitchDis, writers must self-identify as disabled, neurodivergent, and/or chronically ill. They must also have a complete, polished manuscript. #OwnVoices stories are welcome, but the characters do not have to be disabled, neurodivergent, or chronically ill in order for writers to participate in the event.
