SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

How To Hook An Agent: Fishing For The Perfect Match: The querying process can be stressful with an ocean of possibilities. How to Hook an Agent shares tips and tools to help writers stay afloat during the querying storm. From crafting a dynamic query to exploring what it's like to read submissions and how Paige manages her query box, discover how to catch the best agent for you—and if you should throw a "shmagent" back!

Developing the Dream Team: Discovering & Maintaining the Client-Agent Relationship: Learn about literary agents, what they do, and how to develop and maintain a relationship with your agent. In this webinar we will break down the idea of a "dream agent": where to find them, how to hook them, and what to watch out for. We'll also dive into how the partnership dynamic works, what it takes to build a foundation for long term growth, and how to navigate tricky situations and relationship hurdles. A literary agent can be a vital part of your publication journey, and this webinar will arm you with the information to find the perfect partner, and if you've found your partner will help you maintain a strong relationship. 

What's the Deal: An Introduction to Contracts and Negotiation for Writers: Contracts are an essential part of your writing career. Whether you are agented or not, it can be helpful to understand how publishing contracts work. We'll discuss an overview of the contract process, key terms, "clauses with claws," and tips for negotiation if you are working without an agent.
