The Gotham Writers Nonfiction 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, all on Zoom. 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, either on Zoom or in-person. You spend the day with your "table"—pitching, reading pages, and discussing your work. These tables will focus on completed nonfiction manuscripts with agents who specialize in this field.

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