This year’s Midwest Writers Workshop Agent Fest Online offers opportunities to pitch, receive instruction and insight from literary agents about the publishing industry and process, and join in the community that makes MWW so special.
Here’s an opportunity to pitch your book directly to vaunted agents in search of new voices! Advocate for your book in a high-energy environment, and you might just become another MWW success story. Connect with literary agents who are actively searching for the next big thing across all genres including fiction, nonfiction, young adult and more. During the Agent Fest Online, you’ll have a chance to meet agents one-on-one and capture their attention with the basic concept of your book.
We’ve assembled a dynamic roster of top-tier agents to participate in our Agent Fest Online this year. We have four days of valuable sessions; no matter what you’re writing — fiction or nonfiction — the sessions will help point you in the right direction. Writers of all genres are welcome.
