Trade Talks: Pitching to an Agent with Jane Nowak

Advertisement

What do literary agents look for in a pitch? How do you approach them—and what should you avoid? If you’ve ever wondered how to take the next step toward publication, this conversation is for you.

Join literary agent Jane Novak in conversation with Hunter Writers’ Centre Programs Coordinator Bastian Phelan for a candid discussion about pitching, publishing, and finding the right fit for your work. Jane will share insights from her 30 years in the industry—spanning bookselling, publishing, and agenting—including what makes a submission stand out, what turns agents off, and what to expect from the agent-writer relationship.

This is a ticketed event and places are limited.
