Thursday! How to Attract an Agent: From Query to Career

Make agents say "yes" with your query [Web Version »]( &p1=%40uowsXVHvvotKWngUCPZ41NGDOdj2IbyXHx%2Bs4afg%2FS8%3D) [Shop Writer's Digest]( ) [Name]( ) [Finish Querying and Start Selling Books!]( ) Oftentimes the decisions of literary agents can seem bewildering. Why do some authors get hundreds of manuscript requests, while others don’t get any? How can an agent possibly judge the strength of a project from only a query? How can they determine a book’s potential by the opening pages alone? The world of literary agents can be confusing. It can also seem extremely unfair. During this live webinar, literary agent Andrea Somberg will demystify the process, revealing what it is that a literary agent is looking for, and how it is that they arrive at their decision of “yes”—yes, I want to take this author on as a client, yes I want to sell their book, and yes I want to help build their career. In this webinar, Andrea will discuss the four major factors that determine every agent’s decision. She will reveal the strategic questions that every agent asks, helping you position your project for optimal success. She will reveal the steps to crafting a query letter that will yield results and multiple manuscript requests. And she will discuss the steps to finding an agent that will help you realize your dreams. [http://]( ) All registrants are invited to submit a query letter for critique.
