How To Find And Work With An Agent In The 21St Century Ondemand |
"How to Find and Work with an Agent in the 21st Century ABOUT THE WEBINAR This is an intensive seminar on how to find the right agent for you, how to approach them, what they expect from you and how to work together in this new publishing world. The session will touch on both print and digital publication. The print publishing industry has shrunk, and it is harder and harder to break in. E-publishing is the future, but how can an author know what to aim for? Getting an agent should help you make those decisions, and grow your writing career. But it is a different publishing environment than the days of John Grisham and Nora Roberts. You really have to set yourself apart from the thousands of authors who are knocking at agents' doors, and this seminar will tell you how to do that by crafting an exceptional query letter, creating an author brand (even if you've never thought of yourself that way before or experimented with social media), and seeing yourself as part of a team."
