The Agent Lens
Saturday, August 8, 2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Location: Online
If we are writers looking for agents, shouldn’t we be thinking like agents instead of writers? Joyce Sweeney, who has had a lot of experience with both, will unravel some of the mysteries on these strange, agent creatures and how they build their client lists and what you can best do to ‘make the cut’. We will do some exercises to make you more aware of who you are, not just as a writer, but as a seller in this confusing marketplace. Bring your laptop, your passion, and an open mind for new ideas.
