This was my pitch pages for the First Graphic Novel Award 2025. I did’t place but still happy yo have tried.
“ In a future where the economic divide has reached an alarming chasm, millions are left homeless while automation renders human labor obsolete. In this new world, gig economy apps exploit the vulnerable, offering only “work experience” and “free” housing in exchange for their labor in the remaining dwindling human jobs.
Laine and Kerr, two homeless youths from opposite ends of the economic gap, are brought together in one of these app’s 'Helper Hubs'. A dystopian Cinderella story, where ‘happily ever after’ may be the fight for survival.”
