A Professional Event for Serious Writers
You benefit from the most informed
presentations and the latest information from the world of publishing. And along with perennial favorites, we offer important fresh voices and industry experts to widen your wealth of knowledge. Plus you have the opportunity to meet and network in person with literary agents, editors, and industry professionals
to help guide you on the path to success.
Meet and Pitch Literary Agents, Scouts, and Publishers
Yes, you can meet and pitch literary agents and publishers looking for new talent with polished manuscripts. That's why they attend the conference -- to meet you. We even offer a workshop of agents & publishers du jour to help you prepare for a 1-on-1 pitch meeting. During our past conferences, attendees have secured representation and many book deals. In fact, one agent signed an author and landed her a three book deal with a major publisher!
We can't guarantee you will also sign a deal, but book contracts do happen.
