Getting to read your work in front of literary agents and receive feedback is invaluable, which is why it’s no surprise First Page Pitch has become an integral part of Cork World Book Fest’s Get Published Day. Every year, dozens of writers submit their first page and from those, ten are selected to pitch their work to literary agents during the festival, moderated by Get Published coordinator Vanessa Fox O’Loughlin, in Cork City Library.

The ten pitchers for 2026 will be announced very soon!

Everyone is welcome to attend to hear the insights and support the pitchers.
