Agent & Editor One-on-Ones

Our Agent and Editor One-to-One meetings will take place across the Saturday and Sunday, with writers having the invaluable opportunity to talk directly to an agent from a literary agency or an editor from a SFFH publisher about their work, seek advice about any stage of the writing process, and receive direct feedback on pitches and ideas.

Meetings will be 15 minutes long, and there will be a £15 fee.

By booking tickets for this event, you are committing to submitting your submission letter and the first 2000 words of your novel (or less) by 01.05.2020

Please note that both agents and editors will be joining us for this event, and you will be paired at random.
