If you choose not to attend a Writers Conference in person, you can often reach the agents buy submitting to the Maui Writers Conference Manuscript Marketplace. At a fraction of the cost, many agents find great books through a Marketplace.

For example, it will cost you nearly $10,000 to attend the Maui Writers Conference, where you not only meet agents, you learn how to impress them and work with them. OR, you can reach more than 25 of the same agents who attend the Maui Writers Conference for well under $200.

As an added bonus, the submission forms for the Manuscript Marketplace were designed with input from the agents receiving them. Once you’ve completed your submission, you have taken one HUGE step toward querying other agents with your manuscript.

To submit to the Manuscript Marketplace, click here.
