FRESH TAKES: ON PITCHING, QUERIES, AND GETTING TO YES

with agent Emma Fulenwider 

How do I find the right agent? What makes a query stand out? How long should I wait to hear back? Is it okay to follow up? What does "this isn't a fit for me" actually mean? An agent said I should change my whole book, do I listen to them or stick to my vision? Emma Fulenwider answers common questions that writers ask when they don't know they're talking to an agent. 

Attendees will learn:

• The top 5 reasons why a query gets passed over
• When to start, stop, or change directions with your book idea
• Soul care for writers in the querying trenches
• Plus, a peek at the process after a "yes" email
