Conference Portal

It will unfold like this:

Panels and Presentations (Day 1) — Take a peek behind the publishing curtain with eye-opening panels and presentations. You can see the full breakdown on the conference schedule. These days are for people who are ready for publication or just gearing up to enter the publishing process.

Pitching Roundtables (Day 2) — Each roundtable will have two agents and a group of pre-selected writers with book projects. You spend the session with your roundtable, with each writer reading pages, discussing their work, and receiving feedback from the agents. There will be tables specializing in middle grade/young adult novels and picture books, with room for graphic novels as well.

Anyone can attend the Panels and Presentations, but you must apply and be selected to participate in the Pitching Roundtables.
