Coming Soon: #AWP27 Writer to Agent

AWP is pleased to offer registered conference attendees the opportunity to apply to meet with literary agents at the 2027 AWP Conference & Bookfair. All registered attendees, including both in-person and virtual attendees, are welcome to submit to Writer to Agent.

The participating agents are seeking new clients to represent in fiction and nonfiction. The participating agents will read and review applications on a rolling basis to find prospective clients to meet with at the conference. If the literary agency is interested in the author’s work, they will contact the applicant directly to schedule a day and time to meet during #AWP27. Meetings with agents through the Writer to Agent program are scheduled at the discretion of the agents.

The #AWP27 Writer to Agent Program will open for submissions in late 2026. To be notified when Writer to Agent opens, make sure you have subscribed to our conference mailings!

Please note that individual and small group agent consultations are separate opportunities outside of the Writer to Agent program. For more information about these opportunities, please visit the individual agent consultations and small group agent consultations pages.
