If you’ve written a book or are thinking about writing one, you might wonder what happens next. On January 28, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, Seth Fishman, a Vice President and Literary Agent at The Gernert Company, will explain the early steps of publishing a book during a virtual talk.
The Gernert Company is a large literary agency with offices in New York and Los Angeles. It represents over 500 authors, including well-known writers like John Grisham, Louise Penny, and Liz Moore. They work with many types of books, including fiction and nonfiction.
In his talk, Fishman will cover important topics like:
- What agents look for when authors send them their work.
- When and how to submit your writing to an agent.
- What happens after an agent agrees to represent you.
- How agents help you prepare your book for publishers, including editing and revisions.
The presentation will last 90 minutes, with 30 minutes for audience questions. You can register to receive a recording if you can’t attend the live session.
