WD Conference

The Writer’s Digest annual conference, scheduled for July 31 through August 2, in New York City, is now open for early registration.  Click on any of the links in the following release to read more about one of the most highly regarded conferences in the country.

When we say that the Pitch Slam at the Writer’s Digest Annual Conference is your chance to meet with industry movers and shakers, we’re not exaggerating. These are agents and editors who come to the event to actively scout new talent.

In other words, it’s a very real opportunity to take the next step in your career. 2014 attendee Randy Ribay can attest to that. Recently, we received this exciting news from Kaylee Davis, Associate Literary Agent with Dee Mura Literary:


“The client I signed at this past year’s WD Conference, Randy Ribay, and I are officially able to announce our deal with Merit Press for his debut Contemporary YA, An Infinite Number of Parallel Universes, to be published July 15, 2015. Since Randy and I first met at the WD Conference, and Randy actually met an editor from Merit there as well, I consider this a true Writer’s Digest success story.”

Curious about what happens at the Pitch Slam? You can read more how it all works—and more importantly, what you get out of participating—here.

If you have what it takes to become our next success story, registration is now open. And if you’re not yet ready to publish, but simply want professional feedback to guide your book’s direction or inform your publishing strategy, the Pitch Slam is also an invaluable tool for those purposes, too.
