Bologna Children's Book Fair
Would anyone know if it is possible and acceptable to pitch stories to agents attending the Bologna Children's Book Fair in Italy? I write children's stories and live a couple of hours away from Bologna. Any advice will be very much appreciated.

But I suggest you look up any agents you're interested in and check with their agency- they may do them with an appointment system, or not at all.
Jackie Marchant: I think agents are most likely to be booked up with pre-arranged appointments. I'd suggest she approaches them in the normal way, but can mention that she lives near Bologna.

Mark Burgess: I agree with Jackie. Most agents will be at Bologna to sell stuff, not take on new clients, and I shouldn't think they would go for a sales pitch approach.

It does seem to appear that the book fair leans towards the trade side of things although I know tickets are available. It was just an idea.
Kind regards,
