Want a literary agent but don’t know where to start — or why your queries aren’t working?

Learn how agents think, what they’re looking for, and how to approach representation strategically.

This 90-minute workshop gives writers an inside look at how agents evaluate submissions, what makes a strong query, and how to approach the search for representation with more clarity and confidence.

We’ll cover who needs an agent, how to know when you’re ready to query, how to research the right agents, what makes a strong submission, and what to expect if an agent offers representation.

You’ll also learn how to avoid common mistakes and how to think about the agent relationship as a long-term professional partnership.

What you’ll learn:

• How to know whether you need a literary agent
• What agents actually do — and what they don’t do
• How agents evaluate books, proposals, platforms, and authors
• How to tell when your manuscript or proposal is ready to query
• How to research agents and identify the best fits
• What makes a query stronger or weaker
• Common mistakes that cause writers to get passed over
• What to expect if an agent offers representation
• How to build a strong author-agent relationship after the contract is signed

You’ll leave with an understanding of the process, a sense of what agents want, and a focused plan for moving forward.
