2024 Pitch Program

Please note that you will be required to attest to having read the PITCH PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND POLICIES PAGE before you can complete your registration. It is highly recommended that you read it prior to starting the application.

In an effort to provide career-focused opportunities to our members pursuing a traditional publishing path, WFWA is delighted to provide an Agent Pitch Event for members to pitch their work to agents specifically interested in women's fiction. Members are invited to pitch a single, unpublished manuscript in women's fiction, receiving agent responses within two weeks, indicating their interest in further discussion.

The Prepare Your Pitch workshop and the Agent Pitch Event will take place within the WFWA Online Community, which is a separate website from the one you are reading from at this moment.  As a WFWA member, you have immediate access to our Online Community where we hold all workshops, critique, and mentorship programs, monthly live Office Hour events, the Diversity & Inclusion Book Club, and assorted other WFWA-relevant events and updates, including a library full of resources. You may join the WFWA Online Community website at any time and take advantage of this fabulous member benefit. Click HERE to join the WFWA Online Community.
