The Agent Engagement

w/ Jacinta di Mase

Securing a literary agent is often an important step towards publication, with an agent acting as an intermediary between writer and publisher. But how do you know if you’re ready to submit your manuscript to an agent for consideration? It is hard for any writer to know if their work is really ready – an opinion from an expert is invaluable.

Thursday, 8 October, 6.30 – 7.30pm AEDT (Q&A session)
PLUS a 25-minute consultation on Saturday, 10 October 2020
(between 10am and 2pm AEDT)

In this unique opportunity, you will be given feedback on your work and whether your manuscript is sound for submission.
