Agent Fest is Here!
This is such an exciting email to write… 
We get to announce that registration for MWW Agent Fest Online 2024 is open!
We’ve put together a dynamite faculty of nine literary agents and a fantastic schedule for this year’s Agent Fest Online, November 6 – 9. This virtual conference is an opportunity for you to attend sessions, taught by nine different literary agents, about all aspects of publishing your book—from finetuning your opening pages to writing query letters to fielding the “Agent Phone Call” (and much more!).
What’s more—you can also pitch to three of the agents!

Don’t worry if you have to miss a session—or if one of them was so good you wish you could see it again (because that will apply to all of them)—each session will be recorded on Zoom and available to you for 90 days following the conference.
