Once a year for a full 24 ho urs, members can pitch one unpublished (and never self-published), complete d, polished women’s fiction manuscript, and within one week, agents r eply to the posts they would like to pursue. This is a free, members-only e vent, but to give the agents a chance to focus on each pitch, the event is capped at a limited number of registrants.
The 2018 Online Pitch Session will be on July 18, 2018. Agents will be able to access pitches and ask
for more information from Friday, July 20 through Friday, July 27. Members
can see the current li
st of participating agents.
** Please note: earlie r versions of this event had an error which said participants post their no vel's first 500 words (the correct number is first 250 words)
Due to overwhelming demand and for fairness, we have changed the registrati on this year to a lottery approach.
Click here to read more about w hy we chose to move to a lottery approach and details on how it will work.
Registration is on July 5 and will remain op en all day until midnight ET. It does not matter at what time in the day yo u register. On July 6, if we have more members requesting to participate th an slots available, we will use a lottery system to select the participants list. We will automatically add anyone who completed a registration form o n July 5 and didn’t secure a place to the waiting list. All tho se who register will receive confirmation of their status by end of day on July 6.
Participating writers w ill be asked to post during the day of Wednesday, July 18 (before midnight) . Pitch approvals will take place Wednesday, July 18 and Thursday, July 19.
If you plan to participate, you must be ready before July 18 with your 50-word pitch and first 250 words. As there is a chance you may b e asked to modify your pitch (if it does not look like women's fiction, for example), please plan to be online to answer any moderators' questions dur ing July 18 and 19.
Additional details and pitch posting instructions will be added to this event as they become available, and emailed to all p articipating members a week before the online pitch session.You can find gr eat tips on how to write or improve your pitch, and examples of pitches that worked, in the Aspiring Author Toolbox.
