All About Agents
Dates: February 14-27, 2011
Instructor: Kara Lennox
Cost: FREE to FTHRW
members; $20.00 for all others
Registration Deadline: February 7, 2011
Course Description:
Your literary agent is likely to be the most important person in your writing career, yet most authors will agree it's harder to get a good agent than it is a good publisher. Agents sell books, yes, but they do so much more. This workshop will deal with every aspect of professional representation, including how to select an agent from the hundreds out there, how to approach them, how to sign with one, what you can expect in the agent-author relationship, and how to end a relationship with an agent that isn't working out (as frequently happens despite due diligence). Over the course of her career, Kara has experienced a variety of agent relationships, and she will share some of her personal experiences as well as those of her writer friends (identities shielded, of course!)
