ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR

Finding an agent who shares your vision for your career can be a challenge, but it's nowhere near impossible. Many agents are currently looking for new authors they can start on the path to success. Regardless of what you write, there's an agent out there for you, and this presentation helps you learn what to look for and what to do when you want to sign with an agency.

Literary agent Carlie Webber works with both debut and established authors and guides you through the process of finding an agent. Making the match is about more than saying yes to the first person who offers representation. It's also about sharing a vision, having realistic expectations, and knowing you're working with a trained professional (or a professional in training).

Your relationship with your agent should be mutually beneficial and ideally long term. Learn how to query the right agents for you, what questions to ask your potential agent, and how to present yourself as someone every agent wants to sign.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• How to decide if pursuing representation is right for you
• Where to find agents who want your work
• How important your query letter really is
• What questions to ask your potential agent
• Tips on what and what not to say during your first phone interview
• Expectations: What your agent can and can't do for you
