Trying to get an agent?

Here's something you must know.

Every agent considers three crucial questions before accepting a new client.

  • Can I sell this manuscript?
  • Can I sell this manuscript “as is”?
  • Can I work with this author?

Get a YES to these questions and your days of being an unagented writer are over.

BUT HOW?

Jes Trudel of The Rights Factory literary agency is here to reveal everything.

On January 23rd (with lifetime on-demand replay) literary agent Jes Trudel will give you an unprecedented look inside the workings of a literary agency and the process by which agents choose whether to represent an author.

Armed with this knowledge, you'll have a big edge over other writers seeking representation.


During this 90+ minute workshop, Jes will guide you through each question, helping you understand exactly what an agent is looking for, and digging deep on:

  • The specific ways to increase your chances of a yes.
  • Phrases from queries that elicit a quick “no” or a quick “yes”.
  • How to best communicate your potential value as a client.

It's time to stop guessing about what an agent wants. After the 23rd, you'll know exactly what they're thinking — and how to get the right one to say YES!

We invite you to join us for:
