Publishers and Agents Seminar
With Jo Butler (HarperCollins) and Jacinta di Mase (Jacinta di Mase Management)
Here’s your chance to be in the same room with some of the most experienced and vital publishing professionals in Australia. You’ll learn about the relationship between a publisher and an agent and find out how they work with authors and editors. Find out whether you need an agent to get to a publisher and if it’s a catch 22 situation where you need to be published in order to interest an agent. And why does it take so long for them to return your letters?! By learning the ins and outs of the publishing industry you will be far better placed to approach a publisher or an agent when your manuscript is ready for that next exciting step.
