Co-led by a GrubStreet-bred writer and a literary agent at a leading boutique agency, this session offers fiction and nonfiction writers an inside look at the agent-writer relationship. First, we will give an overview of a day in the life of an agent -- what exactly do they do? Armed with an understanding of their day-to-day work, what can writers do to build a strong partnership of communication and trust?
