Finding An Agent Workshop With
Chloe Benjamin, author of The Immortalists
Saturday, December 8th @ 2:00pm
Literary agents act as the middle(wo)man between writers and publishers -- but what exactly does that mean, and how do you get one?
Chloe Benjamin, author of the acclaimed novels The Anatomy of Dreams and The Immortalists, demystifies the agent process in this special workshop at 702WI!
The hour-long workshop will begin with an overview of an agent's role throughout the publishing process and conclude with practical steps for submitting to agents, from preparing a manuscript to writing a query letter.
Though the emphasis will be on fiction, Chloe will speak to the process for nonfiction, and much of the information will apply to both genres. The class is perfect for writers who are working on a manuscript, have one ready to submit, or are curious about the process.
The workshop runs Saturday, December 8th, from 2-3pm. Registration is $60 and places are limited. Afterward, 702WI opens its doors for a free, public happy hour where participants can chat further with the author, shop, and have books signed.
