What does an agent do? Do you need one? If so, how do you get one? In this session, we'll cover each of these questions, with an eye toward demystifying the querying process and exploring the many paths from a finished manuscript to a published book. We'll consider real life examples of how authors and agents work together throughout the publishing process—including at least one example of a highly successful author who doesn't have an agent—and end the session with an informative Q&A.
