Pitching Room

Are you ready to pitch your manuscript? Would you like it to be seen by literary agents, acquisitions editors and publishing decision-makers? Submit your fiction or non-fiction manuscript to appear here in the BookFest Adventure Pitching Room.

Here is what you need to do:

Step One: Create your author profile to Pitch in the Pitching Room.

Step Two: Check your email inbox for a curated list of resources, articles, videos and information to both inspire you and help with your pitch materials.

Step Three: Submit your pitch materials. You will be prompted to pay via our secure payment method after you submit your pitch.

Step Four: Add on extras if you would like to be considered for Brave New Writer or Critiki-Bar. These two live panels happen during The BookFest. You could be selected for either, or maybe even both. Once you complete your order, you will get a confirmation email.

Step Five: Share your BookFest Pitch with your network, invite agents and publishing decision-makers to see it during online pitching events, and watch your inbox for agents who might be interested in representing your manuscript.

Remember, BookFesters — those who are part of The BookFest Community — can see your public pitch information. They can vote on pitches they like best and maybe even influence the agents.

Base introductory fees are: $44.99
