The Gotham Writers Genre Fiction Conference will take place March 1-2, 2025.

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 day with your “table”—pitching, reading pages, and discussing your work. There will be tables specializing in science fiction/fantasy and in mystery/thriller/horror.

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