Literary agents Holly Root and Taylor Haggerty are pulling back the curtain and showing you exactly what goes on when an agent reads your query. You'll get a peek into what it's like to be an agent sitting down, hoping to strike gold in the slush pile, and learn how to make your submission stand out. Your query is your first introduction to the world, so join us for a fun, kind-spirited but honest look at how to get noticed, get requested, and get signed! |
