Hugo InPrint

Hugo InPrint

InPrint is a quarterly forum designed to connect writers to agents, editors, publishers and publishing industry experts through guest presentations and informal discussions. Presentations are open to the public and cover a range of topics, from finding grant money to accumulating a clip file to advice on finding an agent or an editor.

Those sessions to which we invite agents and editors may include one-on-one “pitch” sessions. These sessions are limited—generally to between six and ten—and because they are so popular, we can't guarantee the opportunity to all writers wishing to pitch. Sessions are assigned by lottery one hour before the general presentation begins. You must be physically present to participate in the lottery—no phone call or e-mail sign-ups are permitted.

Pitch sessions are not intended for general feedback on your writing; they are, instead, an opportunity to briefly discuss the commercial viability of your book project.

All InPrint sessions beging at 7 p.m. (sign up for the pitch lottery at 6:15 p.m., when agents are coming).

Admission is $7 ($5 for members).
