Editor/Agent Appointments

How to get an Editor / Agent Appointment

Coordinator: Catherine Johnson

1. Your conference fee must be paid before you make an appointment with an editor or agent.
2. Appointment requests will be accepted ONLY between March 1, 2010 and April 27, 2010. Between those dates, send email request for appointment to Catherine Johnson catherinekatey@aol.com
3. Be sure to put OWFI in the subject line. Please include your phone number and an e-mail address.
4. For more information about what type of manuscripts the editor, agent or publisher is looking for, and how they like it presented, go to their website.
5. One-day attendees who wish to make an appointment must state which day they are attending.
6. You may make only one appointment with either an agent or an editor. Send a first & second choice in case of scheduling problems. Additional appointments may be available at the conference. Check at the registration desk.
7. If you do not receive an email confirmation of appointment within a week of your request, please resubmit. Sometimes e-mail goes astray in cyberspace.
8. Your appointment slip with day and time will be given to you with your name badge at registration. No appointment info is given out until then because of last minute schedule changes.
9. Please do not ask for a specific time or date in your request for appointment unless you are a volunteer at the conference and need to work around your designated duty roster.
10. Do your homework! Practice your pitch before you come, and be certain your manuscript is within the range of work the editor or agent represents.
