Agent Fest Online 2025: Nov 5 – 8
DAILY Practice Pitch Sessions – Here’s your chance to practice your pitch in a judgment-free, learning-only zone. Volunteers can give their pitches and receive feedback from members of the board and other attendees. [attendees only; not recorded]
AfterHours First Reads* each evening– Submit the first page of your manuscript and it might just get read to a panel of literary agents for feedback! First Pages are anonymous and chosen at random–we cannot guarantee your page will be read. Click here for details on how to submit.
*Please note that at Agent Fest Online 2025 we do NOT record the AfterHours First Page Reads in order to protect your intellectual property. If you submit a First Page, it may or may not be drawn at random to be read and discussed during one of the AfterHours sessions.
