Workshop with Agent Katie Monson hosted by DFW writer Rosie J. Pova

TO REPRESENT OR NOT TO REPRESENT: THE LITERARY AGENT'S CROSSROAD

Gain invaluable insights into the decision-making process of literary agents and learn what it takes to tip the scales in your favor.

In this workshop, we’ll delve deep into:

✔ Agent Decision-Making: Discover what drives an agent’s choice to pick up—or pass on—a manuscript. From personal tastes and market trends to the unique merits of each story, learn what really tips the scales.

✔ Decoding Rejections: Ever puzzled over a rejection letter, especially those cryptic form rejections? We’ll break down different types of rejections to help you determine your next steps. Is it time to shelf that manuscript, or should you keep pushing to find its perfect home?

✔ Navigating Differences: What happens when your agent isn’t as enthusiastic about your latest project as you are? We’ll discuss how both agents and writers handle these delicate situations to maintain a strong professional relationship. PLUS, a special submission opportunity for all registrants!
