We'll welcome a literary agent, Vicky Weber (CMA Literary Agency). Vicky will talk about how they approach queries and answer some of your questions! Vicky Weber is a former elementary school teacher turned bestselling children’s book author and literary agent at Creative Media Agency. She represents commercial fiction – board books through adult – but specializes in children’s literature. In all manuscripts, she wants intensity in the writing—to be dropped into the moment and experience the story alongside the characters. If a book is high-concept, commercial fiction with beautiful, literary-leaning prose, it’s probably up her alley. Access ZOOM link: Member Home> My Events> scheduled event> MEETING INFO button.
