Speed Pitching: NEW for Fall Conference 2007

Fall Conference 2007 was held in Winston-Salem, NC, at The Hawthorne Inn. The conference is over, but we have left this conference information on the site so that you can refer to it as a model of what our Fall Conference is like.

Saturday, November 17, 4:30 - 5:30 pm - Hospitality Suite, Room 302

This new service gives you the rare opportunity to deliver a face-to-face pitch about your book project manuscripts to agents and editors from New York, D.C. and North Carolina -- and get immediate feedback -- in rotating, three-minute sessions.

You pitch for 90 seconds; they give feedback for 90 seconds. Then you move to the next agent or editor. You get maximum exposure, and develop the confidence and polish to effectively pitch to the people who can publish your manuscripts. A room monitor keeps time and moves people along.

Speed Pitching is still open! First-come, first-serve. Register by a postmark date of Nov. 1, 2007 - either online, or by mail, with $50 payment enclosed. (If registering online, check the last box under Conference Extras on the online registration form.)

Speed Pitching is for Fiction and Nonfiction genres only.
