See you later today?

Join me and the Authors Guild talking about What Editors & Agents Want!

Hey friends,

Today I have the honor of moderating a conversation for the Authors Guild with Jane Chun (Transatlantic Literary), Robin Coleman (Senior Acquisitions Editor, Johns Hopkins University Press), and Ismita Hussain (Great Dog Literary). It’s going to be full of actionable advice and real world perspectives on the state of publishing today - meaning that if you are hoping to pitch a book to a traditional publisher someday, you won’t want to miss this!

Join us at 1p ET on Zoom - and yes, there will be a recording for those who register and can’t make it live!

Nonfiction Proposals: What Agents & Editors Want

What are agents and editors looking for in a nonfiction proposal these days? Join us for a discussion about the current trends, the elements that matter most, and the common weak spots that can lead to rejection. Our speakers will include literary agents and acquiring editors from trade and university presses, providing insights on what makes a proposal stand out right now in various nonfiction genres.

Registrants will receive some brief suggested reading for those not already familiar with the basic elements of a proposal, so that we can begin the discussion with the fundamentals squared away.

A Q&A will follow the presentation; you can pre-submit a question when registering for the event. A recording will be made available for those who cannot attend live.

The event will take place via Zoom with automatic closed captioning. To request any other accessibility features, please email support@authorsguild.org and we will make every effort to accommodate.
