The 2021 Agents & Editors Conference marks our 28th conference and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome more than 200 attendees, authors, and publishing professionals to Austin once again for one of the best conference experiences available to writers. This year, for the first time, we are offering both an in-person and a virtual registration option.
In-Person Registration (limited to 200 tickets) includes:
(1) 10min. one-on-one consultation with an agent or an editor. Registrants will have the opportunity to submit their top choices and consultations will be assigned with those preferences in mind.
Access to video recordings (all 21 breakout sessions, plus select general sessions) of the weekend’s programming. This means you won’t miss a thing – even the sessions you can’t sit in on in-person will be accessible to you. Recordings will be available through December 31, 2021.
