Have you written a book?
We have agents eager to hear your pitches.
Here’s how it works
First, find out how pitches and the types of books compel professional representation from the NSNC’s first-ever Literary Agents/Publishers’ Panel on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at the NSNC annual conference at the Manchester Radisson in NH. Direct questions will be taken from the audience.
Afterwards, a limited number of ten-minute meetings, one-on-one with an agent or publisher, will be available. FREE to all registered NSNC conference attendees, however, dues-paying NSNC members will be given priority. Signup information to be sent out soon directly to attendees. First come, first serve.
If you don’t land a slot, the agents and publishers will be available for conversation during the NSNC Book Festival, which will be open to the public following the Saturday sessions. Join us to meet, greet, and mingle.
It’s your chance to hear and meet the following accomplished literary agents and New Hampshire Publisher. (Note: more may be added to the panel and will be announced later.)
