Literary agents have long been gatekeepers to the literary realm, holding the keys to placing your novel, memoir, or other full-length book with “Big Five” or smaller mainstream publishers. They advocate for their writers throughout the submission and editorial process, and help their clients craft a career as an author. Their thorough understanding of the publishing landscape, as well as personal and professional contacts, are critical to your success and their own.
This very special agent “Panel & Pitch” event features three well-established literary agents who will discuss the rapidly changing literary landscape, what gets their attention and what turns them off, and the best way to work with any agent, short-term and career-long:
Following the panel and Q&A, participants may opt to present a 10-minute pitch for their manuscript to one of the agents.
All pitching slots are full.
Attending the panel discussion is still a great way to make a connection with the agents for a traditional query.
