Literary/Commercial Fiction Writers Conference 2023

  • “A valuable peek inside the inner workings of the current publishing industry.”
    — Nicole Hansen

    — Whit Howlett
    software analyst
  • “The agents roundtable was fantastic! The materials were so well-organized, and the agents at my table were outstanding, giving us their honest and useful feedback.”
    — Jeannie Tseng
    teacher/writer
  • “I left excited and encouraged to continue my journey through the fiction publishing process.”
    — Jill Harrington
    Consultant & Author
  • “If you are serious about publishing a book, this is the conference for you!”
    — Gina Castellanos
    digital communications
Featuring a keynote interview with Ann Napolitano

The Gotham Writers Genre Literary/Commercial Fiction Conference is happening this weekend!
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 day with your "table"—pitching, reading pages, and discussing your work.

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