PITCH YOUR BOOK TO A LITERARY AGENT:

These one-on-one pitch meetings at the 2027 Michigan Writing Workshop are an amazing chance to pitch your book face-to-face with an agent, and get personal, individual feedback on your pitch/concept. If the agent likes your pitch, they’ll request to see part/all of your book — sending you straight past the slush pile. It also gives you an intimate chance to meet with an agent and pick their brain with any questions on your mind. More 2027 agents to be announced as they are confirmed. You can sign up for pitches at any time, or switch pitches at any time, so long as the agent in question still has appointments open. We have seen many, many writers sign with agents after connecting after our conferences.

ADDED ONLINE PITCHING: To ensure that writers have a robust and diverse lineup of agents & editors to pitch, 2027 Michigan Writing Workshop attendees will have the ability to also pitch literary agents at a specific Writing Day Workshops *online* event that follows the 2027 MWW on our calendar.

That event is the 2027 (Online) Chesapeake Writing Workshop, August 13-14, 2027, which will have 30-40 agents taking one-on-one Zoom virtual pitches.

This means that 2027 MWW attendees can have access to pitching all those online Chesapeake WW agents — pitches still at $29 each — without being a formal registrant for the online August 13-14 2027 event. (That said, if you want to formally register for the August online Chesapeake Writing Workshop and have access to all classes and panels, let us know, as there is a discount for confirmed Michigan attendees.)

If you are interested in this added pitching opportunity, the first step is to get formally registered for Michigan. Following the conference on May 1, 2027, we will be in touch with all Michigan attendees and ask them if they want to partake in pitching online agents at the 2027 online CWW (August 13-14, 2027). At that time, you can communicate your pitch requests and purchase meeting time.

(Please note that Agent/Editor Pitching is an add-on, separate aspect of the day, for only those who sign up. Spaces are limited for these premium meetings.)
