Small Group Agent Consultations
Meet with an agent in a collegial small group setting at #AWP27! This opportunity includes a 25-minute meeting with an experienced literary agent and up to five individual writers. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to have an agent answer your burning questions and offer advice on the publishing industry, and to hear the questions and perspectives of fellow writers.
Group consultations are great for writers who are not yet ready to start querying agents but want to learn more general information from an agent firsthand and to have the opportunity to ask questions. Questions should be more general in nature with answers that can appeal to the group broadly. Participants should avoid extremely personal or specific questions and make sure to share time with the entire group. If you would like to ask an agent more specific questions about your work or project, we recommend booking a one-on-one consultation.
These consultations are designed for conversation and professional guidance, not for formally pitching your work or seeking representation from participating agents.
Please note:
- All meetings will take place during #AWP27 in Chicago, Illinois, at McCormick Place Lakeside Center, and only registered in-person attendees are eligible to participate.

- Participating writers will be matched with an agent to meet with, and writers cannot request to meet with a specific agent.
