Editor & Agent Selection

Your choices are Pitching or Query Clinic (based on availability) Please rank your preferences for these events and then rank your editor and agent preferences (1-7 for Pitching and 1-2 for query clinic). Please note, we cannot guarantee your first choice. Assignments are based in the order of completed attendee registration.

If you do not wish for an appointment with a specific editor or agent, please leave all selections as "0" for "not selected."

Please tell us if you would prefer pitching or the query clinic. You may still rank your choices for all catagories, since you are not guaranteed a spot in your first choice catagory.

Pitching (to editors and agents)

Editors

Amanda Bergeron ~ Avon

Carrie Jackson ~ Elora's Cave

Liz Pelletier ~ Entangled

Kelli Martin ~ Amazon/Montlake

Melissa Ann Singer ~ Tor

Agents

Nicole Resciniti ~ The Seymour Agency

Query Clinic

Want to test drive your query letter? Want to get an aquiring agent’s eye on a query for a new idea? How about learning the components of a successful query letter? If the answer to any of these is yes, then the Query Clinic is for you. Spend an hour with Alexandra Machinist or Holly Root and learn all you need to know to put your best foot forward with your query—the most important sales tool you have in your author arsenal.  

Space is limited and assignments are made based on the order of completed attendee registration. Information on submitting your query letter will be provided after registration.

Holly Root ~ Waxman Agency

Alexandra Machinist ~ Janklow & Nesbit Associates
