Why Pitch to an Agent?

Agents get hundreds of written proposals and query letters on a daily basis. A face-to-face conversation with an agent will help your project get better attention.

You will get professional feedback as to the direction you might want take your project. The agent will have a face to put with your name if you follow up with a submission.

What is a Pitch Session?

This is a 10-minute personal meeting with an agent or an editor in which you “pitch” your book project.

For nonfiction writers, a pitch session is an oral proposal in which you lay out the basic idea of your project and its structure in the hopes of piquing the agent’s interest.

If you write fiction, you will pitch the idea of your novel to an agent with the goal of interesting the agent to see your manuscript.

Plan ahead what you want to ask and to say, so that you put forth an image that reflects the quality of your project. Have questions ready. This is your time to get insider answers. Use it.

How it Works

Subject to availability of time slots, you may sign up to pitch your idea to as many agents as you choose. Once you are a registered attendee of the conference, you may pick agents from the list below and use our secure online registration to sign up for a 10-minute pitch session.

You may also bring your query and opening page to the appointment, if you like.

Refunds
