Pitch your book to acquiring agents and editors. Get feedback on your concept and learn how it fits into the ever-changing market. Every year agents and editors request manuscripts from these sessions! Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity.
Groups of fifteen writers will meet (together as a group) on ZOOM with an agent or editor on Sunday, August 4, at one of the two times listed below. Each writer will have five minutes to pitch their book to the agent or editor. We recommend that you keep your pitch to 2-3 minutes to allow for feedback and questions.
