No matter what you've experienced, your goal is to hook a fantastic agent who adores your project, and someone who will work hard for you and fight for your special place in the literary market.
Join agent Katie Shea Boutillier as she explores exactly what agents are looking for in clients. From the query letter to the book concept to the author's brand, and to overall career expectations/goals. It's good to know what to expect as you begin your relationship with your agent.
