These one-on-one in-person meetings at the 2026 Cleveland Writing Workshop are an amazing chance to pitch your book face-to-face with an agent, and get personal, individual feedback on your pitch/concept. If the agent likes your pitch, they’ll request to see part/all of your book — sending you straight past the slush pile. It also gives you an intimate chance to meet with an agent and pick their brain with any questions on your mind. More 2026 agents to be announced as they are confirmed. You can sign up for pitches at any time, or switch pitches at any time, so long as the agent in question still has appointments open.

ADDED ONLINE PITCHING: To ensure that writers have a robust and diverse lineup of agents & editors to pitch, 2026 Cleveland Writing Workshop attendees will have the ability to also pitch literary agents at an Writing Day Workshops *online* event that follows the 2026 CWW on our calendar.

That event is the 2026 Online Writing Workshop of Chicago, December 4-5, 2026, which will have 30-40 agents taking one-on-one Zoom virtual pitches.

This means that 2026 CWW attendees can have access to pitching all those online Chicago agents — pitches still at $29 each — without being a formal registrant for the online December 2026 WWOC. (That said, if you want to formally register for the December 4-5 WWOC and have access to all classes and panels, let us know, as there is a discount for confirmed Cleveland attendees.)

If you are interested in this added pitching opportunity, the first step is to get formally registered for Cleveland. Following the CWW conference on November 21, 2026, we will be in touch with all Cleveland attendees and ask them if they want to partake in pitching online agents at the 2026 WWOC (Dec. 4-5). At that time, you can communicate your pitch requests and purchase meeting time.
