You’re writing a book (or thinking about it), but what happens next? Join us for an inside look into working with an agent and the beginning stages of the publishing process.

 

Seth Fishman, vice president and literary agent at The Gernert Company, will host a 90-minute virtual program on Tuesday, January 28 at 1:00pm. In this presentation, Fishman will deep dive into what happens after you’ve signed with a literary agent. He will cover many topics, including but not limited to what agents are and are not looking for; how and when to submit your work to an agent; what to expect after you've both committed to working together; and what you can look forward to as you ready your work with an eye towards submitting to publishers, including the revision process and more. The session will also include 30 minutes of Q&A. 

 

The Gernert Company represents more than 500 authors and is a full-service literary agency with offices in New York and Los Angeles. Their client list is as broad as the market, and they represent fiction, both literary and commercial (such as Liz Moore, John Grisham, Louise Penny, Cixin Liu), as well as general nonfiction and practical nonfiction genres.
