Pitchable 2026 Entries

Queensland Writers Centre's Pitchable program is all about great ideas – and what to do with them.

To enter, all you need is an idea... and a short synopsis, elevator pitch or overview. Pitches for any kind of story, and in any genre or style, are welcomed — whether it be for a novel, non-fiction book, video game, film, TV series, podcast, stageplay... almost anything you can write. The possibilities are endless!

Entries open: Monday 6 July – Tuesday 11 August 2026

By making an entry, entrants acknowledge to have read and understood the Program Guidelines. For assistance with your entry, contact us at able@qldwriters.org.au or call the Centre on (07) 3842 9922.

Entrants will be added to Queensland Writers Centre's Pen & Pixel email newsletter (from which you can unsubscribe at any time) for ongoing program and updates regarding your entry.
