Gotham Writers Conference
2019 Teaser

The next Gotham Writers Conference will take place October 16-17, 2020. Details coming soon.

It will unfold like this:

Panels and Presentations (Day 1) — Take a peek behind the publishing curtain with five eye-opening and entertaining panels and presentations. This is for people who are ready for publication or just gearing up to enter the publishing process. Plus, a happy hour.

Pitching Roundtables (Day 2) — Each table will have two agents and a group of pre-selected writers with book projects. You spend the day with your table—pitching, reading pages, and discussing your work. There will be tables specializing in: mainstream/literary novels, genre novels, middle grade/young adult novels, picture books, and nonfiction books. Plus, a happy hour.

Anyone can attend the Panels and Presentations, but you must apply and be selected to participate in a Pitching Roundtable.
