Sweetheart Pitch Fest only for Romance?

[Justine Brashear]

Hello! I'm new here so please excuse what is likely a ridiculous question, but I can't find any confirmation anywhere. Is the Sweetheart Pitch Fest only for romance books? I write contemporary Women's Fiction that has romance elements, but it wouldn't actually fall into the romance genre. Just wondering if I can pitch during this event or if I should sit this one out? Thank you!

My experience is that other genres are welcome if the Agent/Editor/Publisher accepts them. Just look closely at what the poster accepts. I believe several accept women's fiction.

I saw a couple of the agents specifically accept Women's Fiction.
