Adventure Guides

You’ve chosen your adventure, but now the guide chooses the path. You'll submit a Pitch Package by April 18th, containing a single page with up to three loglines or pitches for works-in-progress, plus the corresponding first page (250 words) or illustrations. The Adventure Guide selects one pitch to explore and offers a clear, focused critique by June 6th.

Every journey benefits from a skilled guide, even when the path unfolds off-screen. Our Online Adventure Guides bring the same care, expertise, and insight to your work through thoughtful, written feedback. Selected for their deep industry knowledge and editorial generosity, they take time to consider your pitches and pages, select one, and offer clear, focused responses designed to help you move forward with confidence.

Every table is only as strong as its guide. Our Adventure Guides lead the journey by listening closely, choosing the path forward, and offering meaningful critique along the way. Chosen for their expertise, generosity, and collaborative approach, these guides help shape an experience that’s supportive, focused, and engaging.
