A straight conversation with an agent or editor about how publishing actually works. No manuscript, no submission, no pitch. Ask how to break in, how to find the right agent, what a good query looks like, what happens after an offer — whatever you need answered.

FAQ
How do I choose my agent or editor?
You will receive an email with the opportunity to select your agent or editor as soon as our lineup is confirmed. Selection order will be done in the order of purchase, so you get first choice if you buy early.
When do I submit my materials?
You'll receive submission instructions by email after purchase.
What if I miss the submission deadline?
Sessions can't be extended or rescheduled for late submissions and are non-refundable at that point.
Can I book more than one?
Yes. Many authors pair an Insider Chat with a Manuscript Consultation, or pitch to more than one agent. Pitch Sessions are discounted after the first: $79, then $59 each for up to two more.
Is a StoryCon ticket required?
Yes. You must be a ticketed StoryCon attendee to attend any Agent/Editor meeting.
