First up is Science Fiction, Fantasy, Speculative & Dystopian. 

Join us at 2pm ET for five mini classes taught by top agents and editors. Learn things like worldbuilding, comprehension in the first 10 pages, avoiding info dumping, and the requirements for 2026 (word count, series rules, tropes that are oversaturated, agent wish lists). 

3:30-8pm ET: Optionally, add on a pitch session with the available participating agent or editor of your choice, $29 each 

8:30pm ET: Panel with Agent Eric Smith, Neighborhood Literary, to go over queries and pages. Queries + pages will be chosen at random, by subgenre. 

All Day: Meet your best new writing friends--your future critique partners, beta readers, and writing groups, all people in your genre, in our query + page workshop forum and our networking forums.

This event is designed to work for all subgenres, age groups, and time zones. Everything comes with a replay, timestamps, and downloadable notes. 

All materials available for 30 days (until October 31) with purchase, or for 60 days (until November 30) for members.
