You know those pages you’ve been toiling over for months (or forever)? Well, it’s time to DO something with them! Attend the 2026 Washington Writers Conference (May 1-2) at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Rockville, MD, and pitch your book to literary agents! Registration opens this Saturday, Nov. 1st!

Need extra motivation? Register at the Super-Early Bird Rate by December 31st, and you’ll get four one-on-one pitches. After that, it’s three.

No project to pitch? The conference is still for you! Aside from meeting with agents, attendees get to rub elbows with bestselling authors and publishing pros, hang out and have lunch with fellow scribes, and enjoy being part of the robust DMV literary community.

Wherever you are on your creative path, don’t miss this chance to let the Washington Writers Conference move you farther along it!
