Digital Pitch Sessions
With the Frankfurter Buchmesse taking place online this year, literary agents are adjusting their schedules and trying out online formats, in addition to individual meetings, to pitch books to editors.Riky Stock, who oversees the Frankfurter Buchmesse’s Literary Agents and Scouts Center, said, “I am thrilled to see how creative our agents have become. Many agents have decided to offer digital pitch sessions in addition to their meetings, which they have sent to their subagents and their clients.”
