Learn all about literary agents and how they work with authors to build their careers.
Literary agents play a crucial role in the publishing world, yet authors are often in the dark about how to find agents and what to expect from them. In this single-session class, we’ll go over the nuts and bolts of working with literary agents, starting from researching them, querying them, negotiating with an agent, and the agent-writer relationship. Insights from actual agents will be included in the class. Come to this session to get your questions about the agenting process answered!
