2025 QueryFest Agents / Editors

QueryFest sessions are by appointment only Wednesday, June 18, through Friday, June 20. As agents and editors are confirmed to attend QueryFest 2025 at ThrillerFest XX, they will be added below. We are busy building our publishing industry expert list to provide QueryFest attendees with the most meaningful one-on-one consulting experience. Our hope is the feedback received from agents and editors will help refine attendee’s query package to get attention from their sought after agent, or dream publisher.

Speaking of feedback, here are some of the comments from last year’s QueryFest participants:

• “Queryfest was the most impactful and valuable part of Thrillerfest that I attended.”
• “The best thing about Q-Fest is the personal connection . . . the Agents and Editors who participate are top shelf.”
• “The whole conference was wonderful and QueryFest was a highlight for sure.”
• “QueryFest is my favorite program because I received real feedback from agents who had actually read a few pages.”
• “I had a great experience with QueryFest and thought it was really well run.”
• “The conversation I had with Joe Brosnan, Grove Atlantic, was incredibly helpful. We were able to converse about my characters and the development of my novel. He helped me fine tune my pitch. The results of this conversation is evident in five editors (when I pitched at pitchfest), asking for my manuscript.”
• “QueryFest was great, had several very meaningful and helpful meetings, learned a lot in those short meetings, no wasted time, spaced out very nicely.”

We will begin posting our confirmed agent/editor list for QueryFest 2025 soon. Please check back frequently for updates. Do give you an idea of the agents and editors chosen for QueryFest, please take a look at last year’s roster of experts.
