Event Description
Ever wonder what goes into finding an agent and selling a book? Authors Rita Zoey Chin and Jessica Martin will be in conversation with their literary agent, Maggie Cooper, to discuss the ins and outs of just this topic! From successfully querying, to going on submission with an agent, to the acquisitions process, to working with a publisher, you’ll get valuable insights into what goes on behind the scenes of the author-agent relationship, and practical advice for how you might approach taking the next step with your own manuscript.
NOTE: Zoey, Jessica, and Maggie will be signing their latest books after the event. Copies will be made available on site by our partner bookstore, Porter Square Books. Attendees are also welcome and encouraged to mingle in our event space!
