How to Find the Right Literary Agent

And Survive the Query Trenches -- A Video!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know that my first agent was not a good match for me, and we ended up parting ways. Then I spent a lot of time in the query trenches before finding my new agent, the brilliant Ali Lake of Janklow & Nesbit.

In the 45-minute video below (taken during the Find Your Readers Summit over the summer), I summarize basically everything I know about how to research and query literary agents to find the RIGHT agent for you.

I discuss:

• why you need a literary agent

• the various avenues to finding an agent

• how to research agents

• how to write a great query letter

• querying strategies

• how to survive the query trenches without losing your confidence

Here’s what people who attended the conference had to say about my talk:

"This was insanely helpful! Hands down my favourite segment of this conference and probably one of the most informative entry point for querying I’ve come across."

"Very helpful and loved how Eva organized the presentation - learning points, her story, examples and moving forward. All great! Thank you so Much!"

“This was clear and crisp and informative. Absolutely first class!”

“Eva's talk was packed with useful information and advice. A very generous presentation.”
