On January 27, MBPR hosted its first “Pitch Fest,” which gave local authors and freelancers the opportunity to pitch their ideas and services to Twin Cities book and magazine publishers.

The event was held at Fair State Brewing Cooperative, and throughout the evening attendees networked with more than twenty publishing representatives from editorial, production, and design departments, as well delegates from a literary agency, PR firm, and three local magazines (Minnesota Monthly, Paper Darts, and Hazel & Wren).
