Extra Pitch Opportunities
Your first pitch is complimentary and included with your registration if you requested one while initially registering. If you decline signing up for a pitch during your registration process, but then decide you want one when you arrive at conference, it will be treated as an add-on and you will be charged. All first pitches are held during our regular conference day on Saturday between the hours of 8:00am and no later than 4:30pm.
- If you purchase a second pitch, it will be scheduled based on agent availability during regular Saturday pitch hours (no exceptions).
- You will not be able to purchase a second pitch before 7:30 am on Saturday. The Pitch Master will not be available, or able to make changes to the day's schedule prior to then.
- It is recommended you periodically check in at the Pitch Master desk, located outside of Aurora IV, throughout Saturday as some individuals change their minds once conference is underway and may cancel their regularly scheduled pitch appointments.
- To purchase an extra pitch session, we can accept payment via Venmo, check-made out to Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, or a credit card using our Square account.
