Securing literary representation isn’t just about writing a strong query letter. It’s also about understanding who agents are, what they do, and how to find the one who is right for your work. This live webinar covers everything you need to know about literary agents: how they fit into the publishing ecosystem, what a literary agent can (and can’t) do for you, how to research literary agents strategically, how to evaluate whether a literary agent is the right fit for you, and how to establish and maintain a positive author/agent business relationship.

Maria Vicente, a Senior Literary Agent who has been representing authors for 13+ years, will share how literary agents really evaluate submissions and potential clients, what you can do to improve results as you research potential literary agents, the red flags to watch out for when researching and pitching literary agents, and what happens after you sign with a literary agency.

Whether you’re just starting to consider literary representation or you’re actively querying a manuscript, this live webinar is for you if you want direct explanations about how literary representation works, help finding the right literary agent for your work, and an understanding of whether working with a literary agent will help you accomplish your publishing goals.
