Whether you are a published author or an aspiring one on the hunt for a literary agent, you'll learn how to find, contact, and follow-up with an agent. This includes writing a query letter, maintaining your platform/brand, and deciding what market your work fits in best: traditional, self-publishing, or e-publishing.
