Nonfiction Pitch
When you register for DFWCon, you are entitled to one free opportunity to pitch your project to an agent or editor. Additional pitch sessions can be purchased at the conference. To help find the right match for your work, search here by agent/editor or by genre. In some cases, you will find those who are only looking for Young Adult (YA) or Middle Grade (MG) adaptations of the genre.
Generally, agents/editors want to hear about well-developed book proposals for nonfiction, not a completed manuscript. Consultations may be offered when your manuscript isn’t completed but are looking for advice and feedback. To find out who provides that service, click on the agent/editor boxes below. In addition, you will discover the subjects each is looking for, as well as what ideas not to pitch.
To search by genre, scroll down and choose from the list to find the agents and editors who specialize in that area. The conference hosts agents and editors representing a wide variety of subjects. If you do not see a particular genre listed, that means no agent or editor attending DFWCon expressed interest in that genre.
