Roman and July is a 64-page contemporary young adult graphic novel about the messiness of healing, the importance of friendship, and mistaking co-dependency for “true love.” The story follows a 19-year-old hopeless romantic named July Cantos who receives an unexpected text from her first love, Roman Mosca, three months before she is set to graduate community college. This startling reunion sends July down a dark spiral that she is only able to pull herself out of when she finally learns to confront her unhealthy, years-long infatuation with Roman. Designed to be an industry standard pitch packet for graphic novel publishing, this pitch packet includes an 8-page excerpt, character sheets, concept art, and a cover mock-up.
