Literary/Commercial Fiction Writers Conference 2023

  • “If you’re serious about getting your writing published, this is a must-attend event.”
    — Jennifer Smith
    retired
  • “Excellent way to get feedback in real time from agents, to spend more than just a few minutes with an agent as is common at other conferences. ”
    — Robin McMillion
    writer
  • “It was an opportunity to hear from high level professionals on the challenges and opportunities in the publishing world.”
    — Ruth Oliver
    writer
  • “The round tables really took away the “pitch anxiety” that I experience at conferences and allowed for all the writers to speak to the agents at their own pace. ”
    — Whit Howlett
    software analyst
  • “An amazing opportunity to learn about the business side of writing for publication.”
    — Jacqueline McKeon
    writer
Featuring a keynote interview with Ann Napolitano

The Gotham Writers Literary/Commercial Fiction Conference will take place mostly on Zoom,November 18-19, 2023. There will be at least one pitching roundtable in NYC.

It will unfold like this:

Panels and Presentations (Day 1)— Take a peek behind the publishing curtain with eye-opening panels and presentations. You can see the full breakdown on theconference schedule. These days are for people who are ready for publication or just gearing up to enter the publishing process.

Pitching Roundtables (Day 2)— Each roundtable will have two agents and a group of pre-selected writers with book projects. You spend the day with your "table"—pitching, reading pages, and discussing your work.

Anyone can attend the Panels and Presentations, but you must apply and be selected to participate in the Pitching Roundtables.
