Ending a relationship with a literary agent can feel overwhelming, emotional, and risky. After all, it may have taken you a long time to find an agent. In this candid and practical webinar, picture book authors Natasha Yim and Nadia Salomon, and novelist Jennifer Lynn Alvarez will discuss their decision-making process when choosing an agent, how they know when something isn’t working, when it may be time to move on, how to part ways professionally, and what steps to take before and after making the decision. Learn how to protect your career, preserve your reputation, and position yourself for future opportunities—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. This webinar is perfect for writers and illustrators at any stage who want to better understand the business side of publishing and advocate for their creative careers.
