As a new feature, we've added agent pitch sessions at the April 4-6, 2024, Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop.

For a $50 fee, we’re offering 15-minute one-on-one sessions for attendees to pitch their submission-ready work to a literary agent and receive professional insights. Come prepared with a focused, convincing pitch. You will receive supportive, insightful and actionable feedback to help you find a market for your book. You might even land representation. You don’t need to bring the manuscript, but you may upload a one-page query letter or synopsis in advance. Registration is limited.

Registered attendees can sign up here. You will be billed separately and sent information on how to upload your one-pager.
